PopulateInstance - Boolean problem

ServiceStack.Text

Hi,

Here is a simple test case showing a problem with populating property value with boolean type. Is this a system problem or am I missing something?

Version: 4.0.54

Thanks!

public class A
        {
            private bool _active = true;

            public bool Active
            {
                get { return _active; }
                set { _active = value; }
            }
        }


        public class B:A
        {
             
        }

        [Test]
        public void TestMethod1()
        {
            // ServiceStack.Text
            var a = new A();
            var b = new B
            {
                Active = false
            };

            a.PopulateInstance(b);
            Assert.IsFalse(a.Active);
        }

It’s by design, it only populates non-default values.
