Example
The following example demonstrates converting string values
to bool values.
| C# Example |
using System;
class ConvertBoolTest {
static public void Main() {
string string0 = Boolean.TrueString;
string string1 = Boolean.FalseString;
string string2 = "foo"; //This is an invalid Boolean.
bool bool0 = Convert.ToBoolean(string0);
bool bool1 = Convert.ToBoolean(string1);
Console.WriteLine("(string) {0} as bool = {1}",string0,bool0);
Console.WriteLine("(string) {0} as bool = {1}",string1,bool1);
bool bool2 = Convert.ToBoolean(string2); //Throws an exception.
Console.WriteLine("(string) {0} as bool = {1}",string2,bool2);
}
}

The output is
| Example |
(string) True as bool = True
(string) False as bool = False
