BitConverter.GetBytes Method (Boolean)

Parameters

• value
  Type: System.Boolean
  A Boolean value.

Return Value

Type: array<System.Byte[]
An array of bytes with length 1.

' Example of the BitConverter.GetBytes( Boolean ) method.

Module Example

   Const formatter As String = "{0,10}{1,16}"

   ' Convert a Boolean argument to a Byte array and display it.
   Sub GetBytesBool(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock, ByVal argument As Boolean)

      Dim byteArray As Byte() = BitConverter.GetBytes(argument)
      outputBlock.Text &= String.Format(formatter, argument, _

      outputBlock.Text &= String.Format(formatter, "Boolean", "Byte array") & vbCrLf
      outputBlock.Text &= String.Format(formatter, "-------", "----------") & vbCrLf

      ' Convert Boolean values and display the results.
      GetBytesBool(outputBlock, False)
