Boolean.ToString Method (IFormatProvider)

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Converts the value of this instance to its equivalent string representation (either "True" or "False").

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Function ToString ( _
    provider As IFormatProvider _
) As String

public string ToString(
    IFormatProvider provider
)

Parameters

Return Value

Type: System.String
TrueString if the value of this instance is true, or FalseString if the value of this instance is false.

Implements

IConvertible.ToString(IFormatProvider)

Remarks

The provider parameter is reserved. It does not participate in the execution of this method. This means that the Boolean.ToString(IFormatProvider) method, unlike most methods with a provider parameter, does not reflect culture-specific settings.

This method returns the constants "True" or "False". Note that XML is case-sensitive, and that the XML specification recognizes "true" and "false" as the valid set of Boolean values. If the String object returned by the ToString(IFormatProvider) method is to be written to an XML file, its String.ToLower method should be called first to convert it to lowercase.
