Casting UITextField text value to Boolean

I recognize that I have a string expression which I need to cast it to Boolean from UITextField text. Is there any easier way to cast to boolean straight from uitextfield which is only returning Yes or No?

Thanks.

Check the documentation for NSString

BOOL boolValue = [textField.text boolValue];

Update

It depends what is actually providing the input for the UITextField but I would say if it is user input then @amit's answer is better and you should change your design to use that.

My answer still stands as a good reminder that NSString has nice methods for returning primitive values such as boolValue, intValue, floatValue...etc

Instead of using UITextField, use UISwitch to get a boolean value. According to Apple developer documentation, to get boolean values, you should use UISwitch.
