BooleanConverter Class

Provides a type converter to convert Boolean objects to and from various other representations.

Namespace: System.ComponentModel
Assembly: System (in system.dll)

'Declaration
Public Class BooleanConverter
	Inherits TypeConverter
'Usage
Dim instance As BooleanConverter

public class BooleanConverter extends TypeConverter
public class BooleanConverter extends TypeConverter
Not applicable.

This converter can only convert a Boolean object to and from a string.

For more information about type converters, see the TypeConverter base class and How to: Implement a Type Converter.

NoteNote:

You should never create an instance of a BooleanConverter. Instead, call the GetConverter method of the TypeDescriptor class. For more information, see the examples in the TypeConverter base class.

The following code example converts a variable of type Boolean to and from a string.

Dim bVal As Boolean = True
Dim strA As String = "false"
Console.WriteLine(TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(bVal).ConvertTo(bVal, GetType(String)))
Console.WriteLine(TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(bVal).ConvertFrom(strA))

boolean bVal = true;
String strA = "false";
Console.WriteLine(TypeDescriptor.GetConverter((System.Boolean)bVal).
    ConvertTo((System.Boolean)bVal, String.class.ToType()));
Console.WriteLine(TypeDescriptor.GetConverter((System.Boolean)bVal).
    ConvertFrom(strA));
