Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
Converts the value of the specified double-precision floating point number to an equivalent Boolean value.
Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Shared Function ToBoolean ( _
value As Double _
) As Boolean
public static bool ToBoolean(
double value
)
Parameters
- value
Type: System.Double
A double-precision floating point number.
Return Value
Type: System.Boolean
true if value is not zero; otherwise, false.
Examples
The following code sample illustrates the use of the ToBoolean method, taking a Double as a parameter.
Public Sub ConvertDoubleBool(ByVal doubleVal As Double)
Dim boolVal As Boolean
'Double to Boolean conversion cannot overflow.
boolVal = System.Convert.ToBoolean(doubleVal)
outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("{0} as a Boolean is: {1}.", _
doubleVal, boolVal) & vbCrLf
'Boolean to Double conversion cannot overflow.
doubleVal = System.Convert.ToDouble(boolVal)
outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("{0} as a Double is: {1}.", _
boolVal, doubleVal) & vbCrLf
End Sub
public void ConvertDoubleBool(double doubleVal)
{
bool boolVal;
// Double to bool conversion cannot overflow.
boolVal = System.Convert.ToBoolean(doubleVal);
outputBlock.Text += String.Format("{0} as a Boolean is: {1}.",
doubleVal, boolVal) + "\n";
// bool to double conversion cannot overflow.
doubleVal = System.Convert.ToDouble(boolVal);
outputBlock.Text += String.Format("{0} as a double is: {1}.",
boolVal, doubleVal) + "\n";
}
