parse and convert string generated at runtime to a boolean

I have a string, generated at runtime, which I want to convert to a
boolean.
The string can be something like:

"(true or false or true) andalso false"
"false orelse true"

, pretty much any string of booleans with the operators "and", "or",
"andalso", "orelse".

Is there a way to somehow parse and evaluate the string as a boolean?

I have what should be a trivial problem. I am using XMLSerializer to serialize an object. It serializes boolean values as "True" and "False". I then want to use an XSLT on this XML, and I want to use one of these booleans in a test. How do I convert one of these to a boolean in a test?!? I know that I could compare it as a string to "True" or "False", but that seems extremely crude to me. The "boolean()" function (which, to me, seems...

1) Should I use Integer.Parse to convert a string into an integer in .NET now? CType(sUserID, Integer) OR Integer.Parse(sUserID) 2) And is it better to use the string class to trim, get length, etc in .NET? s1.trim OR trim(s1) s1.length OR len(s1) Thank you!

Hi, Is there a better way to do this? The problem that I have is that x can be "true" or "false" (as type string), or true or false (as boolean type). I'm doing comparisons like... if (eval(x) == true){ // do something... }

Hello, I'm trying to copy a complex structure to a string, encrypt the string, and then write the string to a file. I've tried using the marshal class, but can't get anything to work. When I read the string in from the file, and try to copy the string to the structure to work with it, I get mangled data. Here's the string value: "62510312006Blah11Blah 10312006123-321 dbname1 dbhost1 ...

Hi folks, Boolean.Parse("true") returns true, but what if you need to parse something such as - Boolean.Parse("(false && false) || (false || (true && true))"); Does something exist in the .NET framework to Parse this kind of string to one final boolean result?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
