This converts an attribute value to a Boolean value. If not present, blank, or invalid, it returns false.

public static bool ToBoolean(this XAttribute attribute)

Parameters

attribute XAttribute

The attribute to convert

Returns

bool

The attribute value if it is a Boolean or false if not

Remarks

Explicit casting of an attribute to bool or bool? works but if the value is invalid or blank, the cast throws an exception. This will return false in those cases too.
