Convert string to bool

[torrud]

Hi there,

how do I convert a string to a bool?
I get a string with "0" for false and "1" for true. At the moment I convert it twice, but I think that is not the best way.

Can someone give me a hint?

at the moment I do this:

Convert.ToBoolean(Convert.ToInt32(myString))

bool bvalue = (svalue == "1" ? true : false);

Your question was not at all clear. It depends on what you have in your 'string' value.

If you have 'true' or 'false' in your string value then all you need to do to convert the string value to a boolean is as follows:

bool booleanValue = Convert.ToBoolean(myString);

If you have '0' or '1' in your string value then

bool bvalue = (svalue == "1" ? true : false);

is what you need (noting that any value other than '1' will set bvalue to false).

Slightly more concise...

            String sValue = "0"; // or "1";

            Boolean bValue = sValue.Equals("1");
