Example: How do I compare one string out of a list against my desired string? Please help!
Dim myString As String
Dim myList As List(Of String)
Let's say myString Returns Bob and myList Returns (Bob, Mary, Sally, Joe)
I Need to do the following:
If(myString = myList) Then
//Do some code
End If
In order to compare a string out of a list of strings to your desired string, you must know where in the list the string is that you want to compare with.
Dim myString As String
Dim myList as List(Of String)
'this will compare your string to the first string in the list of strings
If myString = myList(0) Then
'do something
End If
If you would like to see if any of the strings in the list are equal to your string, do this
For i = 0 to myList.Count - 1
If myString = myList(i) Then
'do something
End If
Next
If you want to test whether the list contains "Bob" you can use the Contains Method:
Dim myList As New List(Of String)
myList.Add("Bob")
If(myList.Contains("Bob")) Then
Console.WriteLine("Yes, it is in the list")
End If
