Boolean Data Type (Visual Basic)
Holds values that can be only True or False. The keywords True and False correspond to the two states of Boolean variables.
Use the Boolean data type to contain two-state values such as true/false, yes/no, or on/off.
The default value of Boolean is False.
When Visual Basic converts numeric data type values to Boolean, 0 becomes False and all other values become True. When Visual Basic converts Boolean values to numeric types, False becomes 0 and True becomes -1.
When you convert between Boolean values and numeric data types, keep in mind that the .NET Framework conversion methods do not always produce the same results as the Visual Basic conversion keywords. This is because the Visual Basic conversion retains behavior compatible with previous versions. For more information, see.
Negative Numbers. Boolean is not a numeric type and cannot represent a negative value. In any case, you should not use Boolean to hold numeric values.
Type Characters. Boolean has no literal type character or identifier type character.
Framework Type. The corresponding type in the .NET Framework is thestructure.
In the following example, runningVB is a Boolean variable, which stores a simple yes/no setting.
Dim runningVB As Boolean ' Check to see if program is running on Visual Basic engine. If scriptEngine = "VB" Then runningVB = True End If
