Description

Reads a boolean value-type indicator from the reader object's stream and returns the corresponding boolean value.

ReadBoolean is a helper method used by other reader methods to retrieve a tagged boolean value at the current reader Position. ReadBoolean uses ReadValue to read a value-type indicator:

• If the value-type indicator is vaTrue then ReadBoolean returns True.
• If the value-type indicator is vaFalse, then ReadBoolean returns False.
• If the value-type indicator is not vaTrue or vaFalse, then ReadBoolean raises an Invalid property value exception and returns False.

ReadBoolean advances the stream position after the value-type indicator.
