### Description

Gets or sets a value indicating whether the Sidebar is shown. The default value is `true`.

### Syntax

```csharp
public bool IsShown { get; set; }
```

```vbnet
Public Property IsShown As Boolean
```

### Examples

The following example uses `Sidebar.IsShown` to configure is shown as part of the sidebar workflow. The configured value is checked before the workflow continues.

```csharp
sidebar.IsShown = true;
if (sidebar.IsShown)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Sidebar: Is Shown is enabled.");
}
```

```vbnet
sidebar.IsShown = True
If sidebar.IsShown Then
    Console.WriteLine("Sidebar: Is Shown is enabled.")
End If
```

### Remarks

Because of internal usage, it is recommended to use this property instead of `Sidebar.Visibility` to display the sidebar.
