What If You Want To Compare Case Sensitive Strings?

The usual way to do this in VB.NET is:

Code:

if StrComp(String1,String2,vbTextCompare)=0 then    'same stringsend if

But the improvements of .Net, and the last recommandations imply that all should be methods/attributes:

Code:

If String.Compare(String1,String2,True)=0 then    'same stringsend if

You can also use the method:

Code:

if String1.CompareTo(String2,True)=0 then    'same stringsend if

Hi!You could also use the Equals method as the String class overrides the Equals method of the Object class to perform a case-sensitive matching check. This is used as follows:if (str1.Equals(str2)) { //the strings are the same}The "==" operator can also be used for most checks as the framework performs string interning.CompareTo is useful for sorting - it can tell you if a string is greater than or less than another based on precendence in the alphabet.Regards,Nitin Reddy
