Converting from an int to a bool in C#

Question

int vote;

Insertvotes(objectType, objectId , vote, userID); //calling

For this method call, I want to convert vote to a bool. How can I convert it?

Here is the method signature:

 public static bool Insertvotes(int forumObjectType, 
                                int objectId,
                                bool isThumbUp, 
                                int userID) 
{
    // code...
}

Answer 1

You can try something like

Insertvotes(objectType, objectId , (vote == 1), userID); //calling

Assuming that 1 is voted up, and 0 is voted down, or something like that.

Answer 2

To go from int to boolean

bool isThumbsUp = Convert.ToBoolean(1); //Will give you isThumbsUp == true

To go from boolean to int

int isThumbsUp = Convert.ToInt32(false); //Will give you isThumbsUp == 0
