DataRow to bool casting

Question

I have an xml file from which I read data in the unit test : [DataSource] For the xml line : <DataBool>true</DataBool>, I try to read value by :

bool bData = (bool)TestContext.DataRow[4];

But it throws exception - invalid casting.What is the possible efficient solution?

If there's no schema associated with it, then it's probably just a string. If so, use bool.Parse or bool.TryParse to convert it from a string to a bool.
