Clint writes "How do you make a SELECT statement that uses a boolean to select two different strings?

In Access it would be:
SELECT IIF(MyBoolean, MyTrueString, MyFalseString) FROM MyTable

But how do you do the equivalent in MSDE/SQL Server?

Thanks,
Clint"

SELECT
CASE
WHEN column1 = this THEN this
ELSE that
END
FROM Table
