vb studio 2k8 humor

Reading help files can always be a little bit funny if the coder responsible is bored enough. Here's a mild joke I found.

lol thats pretty awesome... but in all honesty i wish you could just use
if (string.compareToIgnoreCase(STRING)==0)
{
}
like in java

I'm not familiar with java but doesn't == mean 'does not equal'?

So in layman's terms, as long as the string matches this string regardless of case and has at least one letter do the following.

no in java and other high level languages = assigns a value to a variable == compares two variables (equals) != is doesn't equal

basically what that snippet of code meant was:
string.compareToIgnoreCase(STRING) //compares two strings (ignores case) and assigns a boolean value, 0 for true and 1 for false (i know its backwards :p) the ==0 compares the two values and the if statement only executes if the statement is true.

so basically exactly what you said lol

Wow, I was both wrong and right in the same breath.

i know i'm impressed lol
