Boolean.TryParse Method

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

Updated: October 2010

Tries to convert the specified string representation of a logical value to its Boolean equivalent. A return value indicates whether the conversion succeeded or failed.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Shared Function TryParse ( _
    value As String, _
    <OutAttribute> ByRef result As Boolean _
) As Boolean

public static bool TryParse(
    string value,
    out bool result
)

Parameters

value
Type: System.String
A string containing the value to convert.

result
Type: System.Boolean%
When this method returns, if the conversion succeeded, contains true if value is equivalent to TrueString or false if value is equivalent to FalseString. If the conversion failed, contains false. The conversion fails if value is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) or is not equivalent to either the TrueString or FalseString field.

Return Value

Type: System.Boolean
true if value was converted successfully; otherwise, false.

Remarks

The TryParse method is like the Parse method, except the TryParse method does not throw an exception if the conversion fails.

The value parameter can be preceded or followed by white space. The comparison is case-insensitive.

Examples

The following example calls the TryParse method to parse an array of strings. Note that the parse operation succeeds only if the string to be parsed is "True" (the value of the TrueString field) or "False" (the value of the FalseString field) in a case-insensitive comparison.

Module Example
   Public Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock)
      Dim values() As String = { Nothing, String.Empty, "True", "False", 
                                 "true", "false", "    true    ", "0", 
                                 "1", "-1", "string" }
      For Each value In values
         Dim flag As Boolean

         If Boolean.TryParse(value, flag) Then
            outputBlock.Text += String.Format("'{0}' --> {1}", value, flag) & vbCrLf
         Else
            outputBlock.Text += String.Format("Unable to parse '{0}'.",  
                              If(value Is Nothing, "<null>", value)) & vbCrLf
         End If
      Next                                     
   End Sub
End Module

'       Unable to parse '<null>'.
'       Unable to parse ''.
'       'True' --> True
'       'False' --> False
'       'true' --> True
