Example

The following example demonstrates converting decimal values to bool values.

C# Example
using System;
class ConvertBoolTest {
    static public void Main() {
        decimal decimal0 = 0m;
        decimal decimal1 = 1m; 
        decimal decimal2 = -2m;
        bool bool0 = Convert.ToBoolean(decimal0);
        bool bool1 = Convert.ToBoolean(decimal1);
        bool bool2 = Convert.ToBoolean(decimal2);
        Console.WriteLine("(decimal) {0} as bool = {1}",decimal0,bool0);
        Console.WriteLine("(decimal) {0} as bool = {1}",decimal1,bool1);
        Console.WriteLine("(decimal) {0} as bool = {1}",decimal2,bool2);
    }
}

The output is

(decimal) 0 as bool = False
(decimal) 1 as bool = True
(decimal) -2 as bool = True
