Convert the variable to specific type based on your need

If Boolean to String:

Variable.ToString

If String to Boolean:

CBool(variable)

Thank you.

Get text will get the value but it would not say true or false…you have to check first with element exists or after getting text you can use IsNullOrEmpty(variable) to check if a value is returned or not( this gives true or false)

So in if condition if you are using eement exists directly pass the output …if you are using get text then use IsNullOrEmpty(variable) or if you want to check for particular text then variable.contains("text")

Hope this helps

Cheers
