BinaryReader.ReadBoolean Method
Important
Some information relates to prerelease product that may be substantially modified before it’s released. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here.
Reads a Boolean
value from the current stream and advances the current position of the stream by one byte.
public:
virtual bool ReadBoolean();
public virtual bool ReadBoolean ();
abstract member ReadBoolean : unit -> bool
override this.ReadBoolean : unit -> bool
Public Overridable Function ReadBoolean () As Boolean
true
if the byte is nonzero; otherwise, false
.
The end of the stream is reached.
The stream is closed.
An I/O error occurred.
The following code example demonstrates how to store and retrieve application settings in a file.

{
using (var stream = File.Open(fileName, FileMode.Create))
{
using (var writer = new BinaryWriter(stream, Encoding.UTF8, false))
{
writer.Write(1.250F);
writer.Write(@"c:\Temp");
writer.Write(10);
writer.Write(true);
}
}

{
