The following example converts an array of Int32 values to Boolean values.

Dim numbers() As Integer = { Int32.MinValue, -201649, -68, 0, 612, _
                             4038907, Int32.MaxValue }
Dim result As Boolean

For Each number As Integer In numbers
   result = Convert.ToBoolean(number)                                 
   Console.WriteLine("{0,-15:N0}  -->  {1}", number, result)
Next
' The example displays the following output:
'       -2,147,483,648   -->  True
'       -201,649         -->  True
'       -68              -->  True
'       0                -->  False
'       612              -->  True
