The
Convert class in .NET provides conversion functionality from one data type to
another data type. These data types include Boolean, Byte, Char, DateTime,
Decimal, Double, Int16, Int32, Int64, SByte, Single, String, UInt16, UInt32,
and UInt64.
Byte Conversions
A byte is an 8-bit unsigned integer. The ToByte method of the Convert class
converts other base data types to a byte data type.
Convert
a Boolean to a Byte
The following code converts a Boolean data type to a byte.
// Convert a boolean type to a Byte
Console.WriteLine("Convert
boolean type to Byte");
bool f = false;
bool t = true;
byte bf = Convert.ToByte(f);
byte bt = Convert.ToByte(t);
Console.WriteLine("{0}
converted to {1}.", f, bf);
Console.WriteLine("{0}
converted to {1}.", t, bt);
