Is there a simple way for me to convert bool true or false to string "True" or "False". I know I can do this with some if logic but I am wondering if there is something even simpler.
Best Answer
The Boolean structure has a ToString()
method. So:
bool b = true;Console.WriteLine(b.ToString());
Call ToString()
System.Console.WriteLine(false.ToString());System.Console.WriteLine(true.ToString());
If you mean the values true
and false
you can use Convert.ToString
Convert.ToString(true) // "True"
EDIT: mattn has the better answer, I was translating code from VB where the True
keyword did not have a ToString()
method.
To simply print "True" / "False", there are built in static readonly fields on Boolean
type:
string falseString = bool.FalseString;string trueString = bool.TrueString;
Not that the value of bools might change in future or directly answers OP's question, but just adding some related info.
