BitConverter::ToBoolean Method (array<Byte>^, Int32)

 

Returns a Boolean value converted from the byte at a specified position in a byte array.

Namespace:   System
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

public:
static bool ToBoolean(
	array<unsigned char>^ value,
	int startIndex
)

Parameters

value
Type: array<System::Byte>^

A byte array.

startIndex
Type: System::Int32

The index of the byte within value.

Return Value

Type: System::Boolean

true if the byte at startIndex in value is nonzero; otherwise, false.

Exception Condition
ArgumentNullException

value is null.

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

startIndex is less than zero or greater than the length of value minus 1.

To convert a Boolean value to its byte representation, call the ToBoolean method.

The following code example converts elements of Byte arrays to Boolean values with the ToBoolean method.

// Example of the BitConverter::ToBoolean method.
using namespace System;

int main()
{
        // Define an array of byte values. 
        array<Byte>^ bytes = { 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 255 };

        Console::WriteLine("{0,5}{1,16}{2,10}\n", "index", "array element", "bool" );
        // Convert each array element to a Boolean value.
        for (int index = 0; index < bytes->Length; index++)
           Console::WriteLine("{0,5}{1,16:X2}{2,10}", index, bytes[index], 
                             BitConverter::ToBoolean(bytes, index));
}
// The example displays the following output:
//     index   array element      bool
//     
//         0              00     False
//         1              01      True
//         2              02      True
//         3              04      True
//         4              08      True
//         5              10      True
//         6              20      True
//         7              40      True
//         8              80      True
//         9              FF      True
