Solution 1

Which of these questions do you want answered - this one or this one[^]?
What do you want corrected in this code?

Your string to boolean conversion looks ok here.

This code

C#

if(Convert.ToBoolean(price_range  == "<500"))

will not work. Read this Convert.ToBoolean Method (String)[^]
Instead you will need to do something like the following

C#

if (price_range <= 500)

Edit: I just noticed that price_range is a string?? If so what you are trying to do is just weird and I recommend you to rethink your design.

Well I guess you could do something like this

C#

string price_range = "Below Rs.500/-";
string[] priceRange = price_range.Split(new char[] { '.', '/' });
if (Int32.Parse(priceRange[1]) <= 500)
{
}
