The Boolean type exposes the following members.

  NameDescription
Public methodSupported by the XNA FrameworkSupported by Portable Class LibrarySupported in .NET for Windows Store appsCompareTo(Boolean)Compares this instance to a specified Boolean object and returns an integer that indicates their relationship to one another.
Public methodSupported by the XNA FrameworkCompareTo(Object)Compares this instance to a specified object and returns an integer that indicates their relationship to one another.
Public methodSupported by the XNA FrameworkSupported by Portable Class LibrarySupported in .NET for Windows Store appsEquals(Boolean)Returns a value indicating whether this instance is equal to a specified Boolean object.
Public methodSupported by the XNA FrameworkSupported by Portable Class LibrarySupported in .NET for Windows Store appsEquals(Object)Returns a value indicating whether this instance is equal to a specified object. (Overrides ValueType.Equals(Object).)
Public methodSupported by the XNA FrameworkSupported by Portable Class LibrarySupported in .NET for Windows Store appsGetHashCodeReturns the hash code for this instance. (Overrides ValueType.GetHashCode().)
Public methodSupported by the XNA FrameworkSupported by Portable Class LibrarySupported in .NET for Windows Store appsGetTypeGets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
Public methodSupported by the XNA FrameworkGetTypeCodeReturns the TypeCode for value type Boolean.
Public methodStatic memberSupported by the XNA FrameworkSupported by Portable Class LibrarySupported in .NET for Windows Store appsParseConverts 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 Boolean.TrueString or Boolean.FalseString.
Public methodSupported by the XNA FrameworkSupported by Portable Class LibrarySupported in .NET for Windows Store appsToString()Converts the value of this instance to its equivalent string representation (either "True" or "False"). (Overrides ValueType.ToString().)
Public methodSupported by the XNA FrameworkToString(IFormatProvider)Converts the value of this instance to its equivalent string representation (either "True" or "False").
Public methodStatic memberSupported by Portable Class LibrarySupported in .NET for Windows Store appsTryParseTries to convert the specified string representation of a logical value to its Boolean equivalent. A return value indicates whether the conversion succeeded or failed.

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.
