If I try to put a string into a Boolean variable such as this:
Dim testValue As String = "True"
Dim bool1 As Boolean = testValue
With Option Strict On I get an error and the suggested fix is to change the second line to:
Dim bool1 As Boolean = CBool(testValue)
This is fine, But - what are the advantages / disadvantages of doing this instead:
Dim bool1 As Boolean = Boolean.Parse(testValue)
So I had a smart idea to make a dictionary with all my variables so I could save them easily in chunks. This includes String, Boolean and Integers. When I was in Framework 3.5 I only had a few warnings about stuff that I didn't have coded in, but now in Framework 4 I am maxing out all my warnings with Implicit conversions. Personally I don't want to go to every number and put quotes around it put quotes around "True" because then it may change the method.
Public Function loadGeneral(ByVal fName As String) As Boolean
Dim tempDict As New Dictionary(Of String, String)

I am trying to up a private sub routing based on the Text Changed Event for a listbox, inside of the event, I want to set a boolean variable to true. I have it set up, but for some reason it is not getting called.
Basically what I am doing is the user is being prompted to enter data in an input box. I am taking the data that is entered on the input box and populating it in a list box. I want to know if the text in the listbox has been changed, hence changing the blnIsChanged = True
Can I use text changed with a listbox???
Is there anyway to customize a variable to use both an integer and a boolean value?For example. I am kind of making a simulation engine and using GDI as a visual aid, I am generating a grid of tiles for objects to be displayed, but I do NOT want to repaint all the tiles just the ones that have changed, so that I can save fps.So I thought if I could set a variable for the "tile number", "how many objects there are on a tile", and a boolean value for whether or not the tile needs repainted.[code]

I've got a routine that checks a website my my external address. What I'd like to do is loop through the string just to get the first 15 numbers and full stops (periods). But that isn't my question, my problem is I've got this routine that isn't building because of a string conversion issue. I don't know how to correct it.

I encountered due to a coding error a behaviour I can't explain.In one line I have an implcit conversion from a string to a boolean value:
Class myClass
Public Property myString() as Boolean
Return "123" '<= Implicit Conversion occurs here
End Property
End class

Are there any differences in the behaviour between the .NET Versions?The code is compiled against .NET 2.0 with implicit conversion on.

From what I read it is a good convention to name a method that returns a boolean value with the prefix of "is" or "has". So in keeping with this convention I am trying to name a method in my program with this prefix but I am running Specifically I have a class called Day. It is a simple class with a few data members and one method that returns a boolean value of true or false. The name of the boolean variable is isSpecialDay. This class has a method called isSpecialDay which takes the date of the day, applies some criteria to the date and then sets the variable isSpecialDay to true or false. My problem is that the boolean variable is named isSpecialDay and so it the method. What should I do?
Public Class Day
Private TheDate as String
Private DayName as String
