BooleanConverter

Description

The BooleanConverter class allows you to convert different values to boolean values using the following rules:

• Numbers: <>0 are true, =0 are false

• Strings: “true”, “yes”, “T”, “Y”, “1” are true; “false”, “no”, “F”, “N” are false

• DateTime: <>0 total milliseconds are true, =0 are false

Static methods

ToBoolean

Converts value into boolean or returns false when the conversion is not possible.

public static boolean ToBoolean(object value)

• value: object - value to convert.
• returns: bool - boolean value or false when conversion is not supported.

ToBooleanWithDefault

Converts value into boolean or returns default value when the conversion is not possible

public static bool ToBooleanWithDefault(object value, bool defaultValue)

• value: object - value to convert.
• defaultValue: bool - default value
• returns: bool - boolean value or default when the conversion is not supported.

ToNullableBoolean

Converts value into boolean or returns null when the conversion is not possible.

public static bool toNullableBoolean(object value)

• value: object - value to convert.
• returns: bool - boolean value or null when the convertion is not supported.

Examples

var value1 = BooleanConverter.ToNullableBoolean(True);     // Returns True
var value2 = BooleanConverter.ToNullableBoolean("yes");    // Returns True
var value3 = BooleanConverter.ToNullableBoolean(123);      // Returns null
var value4 = BooleanConverter.ToNullableBoolean({});       // Returns null

var value5 = BooleanConverter.ToBooleanWithDefault(True,"verdadero");     // Returns True
var value6 = BooleanConverter.ToBooleanWithDefault(123,"verdadero");      // Returns verdadero

var value7 = BooleanConverter.ToBoolean("yes");     // Returns True
