Boolean Structure
Visual Studio 2010
Represents a Boolean value.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
The Boolean type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() ![]() | CompareTo(Boolean) | Compares this instance to a specified Boolean object and returns an integer that indicates their relationship to one another. |
![]() ![]() | CompareTo(Object) | Compares this instance to a specified object and returns an integer that indicates their relationship to one another. |
![]() ![]() ![]() | Equals(Boolean) | Returns a value indicating whether this instance is equal to a specified Boolean object. |
![]() ![]() ![]() | Equals(Object) | Returns a value indicating whether this instance is equal to a specified object. (Overrides ValueType.Equals(Object).) |
![]() ![]() ![]() | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() ![]() ![]() | GetHashCode | Returns the hash code for this instance. (Overrides ValueType.GetHashCode().) |
![]() ![]() ![]() | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() ![]() | GetTypeCode | Returns the TypeCode for value type Boolean. |
![]() ![]() ![]() | MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | 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. |
![]() ![]() ![]() | ToString() | Converts the value of this instance to its equivalent string representation (either "True" or "False"). (Overrides ValueType.ToString().) |
![]() ![]() | ToString(IFormatProvider) | Converts the value of this instance to its equivalent string representation (either "True" or "False"). |
![]() ![]() ![]() | 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 | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | FalseString | Represents the Boolean value false as a string. This field is read-only. |
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | TrueString | Represents the Boolean value true as a string. This field is read-only. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() ![]() | IConvertible.ToBoolean | Infrastructure. For a description of this member, see IConvertible.ToBoolean. |
![]() ![]() ![]() | IConvertible.ToByte | Infrastructure. For a description of this member, see IConvertible.ToByte. |
![]() ![]() ![]() | IConvertible.ToChar | Infrastructure. This conversion is not supported. Attempting to use this method throws an InvalidCastException. |
![]() ![]() ![]() | IConvertible.ToDateTime | Infrastructure. This conversion is not supported. Attempting to use this method throws an InvalidCastException. |

![]() ![]() ![]() | IConvertible.ToDouble | Infrastructure. For a description of this member, see IConvertible.ToDouble.. |
![]() ![]() ![]() | IConvertible.ToInt16 | Infrastructure. For a description of this member, see IConvertible.ToInt16. |
![]() ![]() ![]() | IConvertible.ToInt32 | Infrastructure. For a description of this member, see IConvertible.ToInt32. |
![]() ![]() ![]() | IConvertible.ToInt64 | Infrastructure. For a description of this member, see IConvertible.ToInt64. |
![]() ![]() ![]() | IConvertible.ToSByte | Infrastructure. For a description of this member, see IConvertible.ToSByte. |
![]() ![]() ![]() | IConvertible.ToSingle | Infrastructure. For a description of this member, see IConvertible.ToSingle.. |
![]() ![]() ![]() | IConvertible.ToType | Infrastructure. For a description of this member, see IConvertible.ToType. |
![]() ![]() ![]() | IConvertible.ToUInt16 | Infrastructure. For a description of this member, see IConvertible.ToUInt16. |
![]() ![]() ![]() | IConvertible.ToUInt32 | Infrastructure. For a description of this member, see IConvertible.ToUInt32. |
![]() ![]() ![]() | IConvertible.ToUInt64 | Infrastructure. For a description of this member, see IConvertible.ToUInt64. |
Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows XP SP2 x64 Edition, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
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.
