Boolean::Parse Method
Updated: October 2010
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.
Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Parameters
- value
- Type: System::String
A string containing the value to convert.
Return Value
Type: System::Booleantrue if value is equivalent to the value of the TrueString field; false if value is equivalent to the value of the FalseString field.
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentNullException | value is nullptr. |
| FormatException | value is not equivalent to the value of the TrueString or FalseString field. |
The value parameter, optionally preceded or trailed by white space, must contain a string that is equivalent to the value of either the TrueString or FalseString field; otherwise, a FormatException is thrown. The comparison is case-insensitive.
The following example calls the Parse method to parse an array of strings. Note that the parse operation succeeds only if the string to be parsed is "True" (the value of the TrueString field) or "False" (the value of the FalseString field) in a case-insensitive comparison.
