XElement Explicit Conversion (XElement to Boolean)
This API is not CLS-compliant. Namespace: System.Xml.Linq
Assembly: System.Xml.Linq (in System.Xml.Linq.dll)
Parameters
- element
- Type: System.Xml.Linq.XElement
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| FormatException | The element does not contain a valid Boolean value. |
| ArgumentNullException | The element parameter is null. |
When converting to Boolean from an attribute or element, allowed values are "0", "1", and any string that produces "true" or "false" after trimming and conversion to lower case.
The following example creates some elements with boolean values. It then casts them to Boolean.
XElement root = new XElement("Root", new XElement("BoolValue1", true), new XElement("BoolValue2", false) ); bool bool1 = (bool)root.Element("BoolValue1"); bool bool2 = (bool)root.Element("BoolValue2"); Console.WriteLine("(bool)BoolValue1={0}", bool1); Console.WriteLine("(bool)BoolValue2={0}", bool2);
This example produces the following output:
(bool)BoolValue1=True (bool)BoolValue2=False
