Boolean

Synopsis

This is a simple value type that contains either true or false. When converting to or from a string or comparing with a string, the TrueString and FalseString fields are used (these return True and False). This type is available in VB.NET through the Boolean alias.

Public Structure Boolean : Implements IComparable, IConvertible
' Public Shared Fields
   Public Shared ReadOnly FalseString As String                  // =False
   Public Shared ReadOnly TrueString As String                   // =True
                  ' Public Shared Methods
   Public Shared Function Parse(
        ByVal value As String) As Boolean  
' Public Instance Methods
   Public Function CompareTo(
        ByVal obj As Object) As Integer Implements IComparable.CompareTo 
   Overrides Public Function Equals(
        ByVal obj As Object) As Boolean  
   Overrides Public Function GetHashCode() As Integer  
   Public Function GetTypeCode(
        ) As TypeCode Implements IConvertible.GetTypeCode 
   Overrides Public Function ToString() As String  
   Public Function ToString(
        ByVal provider As IFormatProvider) As String Implements IConvertible.ToString
