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

I know this has been answered, but in VB.net above 2013 (the lowest I've personally used) you can just compare strings with an = operator. This is the easiest way.

So basically:

If string1 = string2 Then
    'do a thing
End If
