This API is not CLS-compliant.
Converts the value of the specified 8-bit signed integer to an equivalent Boolean value.

public static bool ToBoolean (sbyte value);[<System.CLSCompliant(false)>]
static member ToBoolean : sbyte -> boolPublic Shared Function ToBoolean (value As SByte) As BooleanParameters
- value
- SByte
The 8-bit signed integer to convert.
Returns
true if value is not zero; otherwise, false.
- Attributes
Examples
The following example converts an array of SByte values to Boolean values.
array<SByte>^ numbers = gcnew array<SByte> { SByte::MinValue, -1, 0, 10, 100, SByte::MaxValue };
bool result;
for each (SByte number in numbers)
{
result = Convert::ToBoolean(number);
Console::WriteLine("{0,-5} --> {1}", number, result);
}
// The example displays the following output:
// -128 --> True
// -1 --> True
// 0 --> False
// 10 --> True
// 100 --> True
// 127 --> True
sbyte[] numbers = { SByte.MinValue, -1, 0, 10, 100, SByte.MaxValue };
bool result;
foreach (sbyte number in numbers)
{
result = Convert.ToBoolean(number);
Console.WriteLine("{0,-5} --> {1}", number, result);
}
// The example displays the following output:
// -128 --> True
// -1 --> True
// 0 --> False

for number in numbers do
let result = Convert.ToBoolean number
printfn $"{number,-5} --> {result}"
// The example displays the following output:
// -128 --> True
// -1 --> True
// 0 --> False
// 10 --> True
// 100 --> True
// 127 --> True
Dim numbers() As SByte = { SByte.MinValue, -1, 0, 10, 100, SByte.MaxValue }
Dim result As Boolean
For Each number As SByte In numbers
result = Convert.ToBoolean(number)
Console.WriteLine("{0,-5} --> {1}", number, result)

Converts the specified string representation of a logical value to its Boolean equivalent, using the specified culture-specific formatting information.
public:
static bool ToBoolean(System::String ^ value, IFormatProvider ^ provider);public static bool ToBoolean (string value, IFormatProvider provider);public static bool ToBoolean (string? value, IFormatProvider? provider);static member ToBoolean : string * IFormatProvider -> boolPublic Shared Function ToBoolean (value As String, provider As IFormatProvider) As BooleanParameters
- value
- String
A string that contains the value of either TrueString or FalseString.
- provider
- IFormatProvider
An object that supplies culture-specific formatting information. This parameter is ignored.
Returns
true if value equals TrueString, or false if value equals FalseString or null.
Exceptions
value is not equal to TrueString or FalseString.
Remarks
If you prefer not to handle an exception if the conversion fails, you can call the Boolean.TryParse method instead. It returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the conversion succeeded or failed.

- value
- Object
An object that implements the IConvertible interface, or null.
- provider
- IFormatProvider
An object that supplies culture-specific formatting information.
Returns
true or false, which reflects the value returned by invoking the ToBoolean(IFormatProvider) method for the underlying type of value. If value is null, the method returns false.
Exceptions
value is a string that does not equal TrueString or FalseString.
value does not implement the IConvertible interface.
-or-
The conversion of value to a Boolean is not supported.
Examples
The following example defines a class that implements IConvertible and a class that implements IFormatProvider. Objects of the class that implements IConvertible hold an array of Double values. An object of each class is passed to the ToBoolean(Object, IFormatProvider) method. This method returns true if any of the non-discarded array values are non-zero. The IFormatProvider object determines how elements are discarded for this calculation.

Remarks
For a successful conversion to occur, the value parameter must equal either Boolean.TrueString, a constant whose value is True, Boolean.FalseString, a constant whose value is False, or it must be null. In comparing value with Boolean.TrueString and Boolean.FalseString, the method ignores case as well as leading and trailing white space.
If you prefer not to handle an exception if the conversion fails, you can call the Boolean.TryParse method instead. It returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the conversion succeeded or failed.

- value
- Int64
The 64-bit signed integer to convert.
Returns
true if value is not zero; otherwise, false.
Examples
The following example converts an array of Int64 values to Boolean values.
array<Int64>^ numbers = gcnew array<Int64> { Int64::MinValue, -2016493, -689, 0, 6121,
403890774, Int64::MaxValue };
bool result;
for each (Int64 number in numbers)
{
result = Convert::ToBoolean(number);
Console::WriteLine("{0,-26:N0} --> {1}", number, result);
}
// The example displays the following output:
// -9,223,372,036,854,775,808 --> True
// -2,016,493 --> True
// -689 --> True
// 0 --> False
// 6,121 --> True
// 403,890,774 --> True
// 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 --> True
long[] numbers = { Int64.MinValue, -2016493, -689, 0, 6121,
403890774, Int64.MaxValue };
bool result;
foreach (long number in numbers)
{
result = Convert.ToBoolean(number);
Console.WriteLine("{0,-26:N0} --> {1}", number, result);
}
// The example displays the following output:
// -9,223,372,036,854,775,808 --> True
// -2,016,493 --> True
// -689 --> True
// 0 --> False
// 6,121 --> True
// 403,890,774 --> True

for number in numbers do
