title: Parse to Boolean or check String Value
body: <p>If I have a variable that pulls a string of <code>true</code> or <code>false</code> from the DB,<br>
  which would be the preferred way of checking its value?</p>
  
  <pre><code>string value = "false";
  
  if(Boolean.Parse(value)){
     DoStuff();
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><em>I know there are different ways of parsing to bool - this is an example</em><br>
  or</p>
  
  <pre><code>string value = "false";
  
  if(value == "true"){
     DoStuff();
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am pulling a lot of true/false values from the DB in <code>string</code> format, and want to know if these methods make any performance difference at all?</p>
