Just checking the obvious, but you do realise that bool? is shorthand for the struct System.Nullable< bool> yeah?

The complier is probably selecting the AddValue(string, bool) overload, and putting a bool in the ourput stream.

I would suggest that info.GetValue(..., typeof(object)) is actually returning a boxed bool, which in the watch window looks a lot like a string (as .ToString() is called). You can't cast directly from a boxed boolean to a bool? - you will have to go with new bool?(GetValue(bool)).
