comparing strings in vb

Question

Hopefully this should be an easy question. In java i think it\'s compareTo().

How do I compare 2 string variables to determine if they are the same?

Answer 1

Dim MyString As String = "Hello World"
Dim YourString As String = "Hello World"
Console.WriteLine(String.Equals(MyString, YourString))

returns a bool True. This comparison is case-sensitive.

So in your example,

if String.Equals(string1, string2) and String.Equals(string3, string4) then
  ' do something
else
  ' do something else
end if
