How to cast a "Two Options" field to a bool type C#?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Member

I've added a Two Option field to a Form and now I'm reading back the value.

This is what I'm trying in order to read back the attribute value, first checking that the field exists them attempting a cast to bool. But there is a syntax error on the line where I try to get the attribute value - "(bool)contact.Attributes"



                        bool feeDeleted = contact.Attributes.ContainsKey("vs_feedeleted") ? (bool)contact.Attributes["vs_feedeleted"]




Does anyone know how to cast the Two Option field's value to a bool type in C#?

    Hi bvarley ,

    if I am not wrong , you must complete your Conditional Expression. I hope this is the error.

    bool feeDeleted = contact.Attributes.ContainsKey("vs_feedeleted") ? (bool)contact.Attributes["vs_feedeleted"]:false;

    use contact.GetAttributeValue<bool>("vs_feedeleted")

    I'm trying contact.GetAttributeValue<bool>("vs_feedeleted") as I need to get the current value of the Two Option field.

    Does this code achieve the same thing? What's the difference?

    bool feeDeleted = contact.Attributes.ContainsKey("vs_feedeleted") ? (bool)contact.Attributes["vs_feedeleted"]:false;
