Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Shared Function ToDouble ( _
    value As Boolean _
) As Double
public static double ToDouble(
    bool value
)

Return Value

Type: System.Double
The number 1 if value is true; otherwise, 0.

Examples

The following code sample illustrates the conversion of a Boolean value to a Double one, using ToDouble.

Public Sub ConvertDoubleBool(ByVal doubleVal As Double)
   Dim boolVal As Boolean

   'Double to Boolean conversion cannot overflow.
   boolVal = System.Convert.ToBoolean(doubleVal)
   outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("{0} as a Boolean is: {1}.", _
                             doubleVal, boolVal) & vbCrLf

   'Boolean to Double conversion cannot overflow.
   doubleVal = System.Convert.ToDouble(boolVal)
   outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("{0} as a Double is: {1}.", _
                             boolVal, doubleVal) & vbCrLf
End Sub
public void ConvertDoubleBool(double doubleVal)
{
   bool boolVal;
   // Double to bool conversion cannot overflow.
   boolVal = System.Convert.ToBoolean(doubleVal);
   outputBlock.Text += String.Format("{0} as a Boolean is: {1}.",
      doubleVal, boolVal) + "\n";

   // bool to double conversion cannot overflow.
   doubleVal = System.Convert.ToDouble(boolVal);
   outputBlock.Text += String.Format("{0} as a double is: {1}.",
      boolVal, doubleVal) + "\n";
}
