The Boolean type exposes the following members.

  Name Description
Public method Supported by the XNA Framework Supported by Portable Class Library 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 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 Equals(Object) Returns a value indicating whether this instance is equal to a specified object. (Overrides ValueType.Equals(Object).)
Protected method Supported by the XNA Framework Supported by Portable Class Library Finalize Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method Supported by the XNA Framework Supported by Portable Class Library GetHashCode Returns the hash code for this instance. (Overrides ValueType.GetHashCode().)
Public method Supported by the XNA Framework Supported by Portable Class Library GetType Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method Supported by the XNA Framework GetTypeCode Returns the TypeCode for value type Boolean.
Protected method Supported by the XNA Framework Supported by Portable Class Library MemberwiseClone Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method Static member Supported by the XNA Framework Supported by Portable Class Library Parse Converts the specified string representation of a logical value to its Boolean equivalent, or throws an exception if the string is not equivalent to the value of Boolean.TrueString or Boolean.FalseString.
Public method Supported by the XNA Framework Supported by Portable Class Library ToString() Converts the value of this instance to its equivalent string representation (either "True" or "False"). (Overrides ValueType.ToString().)
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 TryParse Tries to convert the specified string representation of a logical value to its Boolean equivalent. A return value indicates whether the conversion succeeded or failed.

  Name Description
Public field Static member Supported by the XNA Framework Supported by Portable Class Library FalseString Represents the Boolean value false as a string. This field is read-only.
Public field Static member Supported by the XNA Framework Supported by Portable Class Library TrueString Represents the Boolean value true as a string. This field is read-only.

Instances of this type have values of either true or false.

.NET Framework

Supported in: 4, 3.5, 3.0, 2.0, 1.1, 1.0

.NET Framework Client Profile

Supported in: 4, 3.5 SP1

The .NET Framework does not support all versions of every platform. For a list of the supported versions, see .NET Framework System Requirements.

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.
