Set boolean properties in powershell

I just wanted to make an existing list hidden without using SharePoint Designer, since I hate SPD. =)

So I wrote a simple powershell script to do this and quickly realized I didn’t know how to write boolean values. I tried $list.Hidden = true but it generated an error. I tried $list.Hidden = “True” but it changed nothing. A quick search on the net and I found the answer. $list.Hidden = $true worked. So boolean values are written with the dollar sign in front. Good to know. =)

So this is how to set boolean values in PowerShell:

$true
$false

1 2	$true $false

Just in case someone wants to know. Here is the full example on how to hide a list using PowerShell.

$web = Get-SPWeb "<a href="http://url/">http://url</a>" 
$list = $web.Lists["list name"] 
$list.Hidden = $true 
$list.Update()

$web = Get-SPWeb "<a href="http://url/">http://url</a>"

$list = $web.Lists["list name"]

$list.Hidden = $true

$list.Update()
