Methods
  NameDescription
Public method Supported by the XNA Framework Supported by Portable Class Library Supported in .NET for Windows Store apps CompareTo(Boolean)Compares this instance to a specified Boolean object and returns an integer that indicates their relationship to one another.
Public method Supported by the XNA Framework CompareTo(Object)Compares this instance to a specified object and returns an integer that indicates their relationship to one another.
Public method Supported by the XNA Framework Supported by Portable Class Library Supported in .NET for Windows Store apps Equals(Boolean)Returns a value indicating whether this instance is equal to a specified Boolean object.
Public method Supported by the XNA Framework Supported by Portable Class Library Supported in .NET for Windows Store apps Equals(Object)Returns a value indicating whether this instance is equal to a specified object. (Overrides ValueTypeEquals(Object).)
Public method Supported by the XNA Framework Supported by Portable Class Library Supported in .NET for Windows Store apps GetHashCodeReturns the hash code for this instance. (Overrides ValueTypeGetHashCode.)
Public method Supported by the XNA Framework Supported by Portable Class Library Supported in .NET for Windows Store apps GetTypeGets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method Supported by the XNA Framework GetTypeCodeReturns the TypeCode for value type Boolean.
Public method Static member Supported by the XNA Framework Supported by Portable Class Library Supported in .NET for Windows Store apps ParseConverts the specified string representation of a logical value to its Boolean equivalent, or throws an exception if the string is not equal to the value of BooleanTrueString or BooleanFalseString.
Public method Supported by the XNA Framework Supported by Portable Class Library Supported in .NET for Windows Store apps ToStringConverts the value of this instance to its equivalent string representation (either "True" or "False"). (Overrides ValueTypeToString.)
Public method Supported by the XNA Framework ToString(IFormatProvider)Converts the value of this instance to its equivalent string representation (either "True" or "False").
Public method Static member Supported by Portable Class Library Supported in .NET for Windows Store apps TryParseTries to convert the specified string representation of a logical value to its Boolean equivalent. A return value indicates whether the conversion succeeded or failed.

Explicit Interface Implementations
  NameDescription
Explicit interface implemetation Private method Supported by Portable Class Library Supported in .NET for Windows Store apps IComparableCompareToInfrastructure. Compares the current instance with another object of the same type and returns an integer that indicates whether the current instance precedes, follows, or occurs in the same position in the sort order as the other object.

Thread Safety

All members of this type are thread safe. Members that appear to modify instance state actually return a new instance initialized with the new value. As with any other type, reading and writing to a shared variable that contains an instance of this type must be protected by a lock to guarantee thread safety.
