Use String.Compare

• Jun 26, 2019

Replaces the equality expression with a call to String.Compare.

Availability

Available from the context menu or via shortcuts:

• when a Boolean expression that compares strings, using either the equality or inequality operator is selected.

Example

C#

private string testString = "My text";
private bool TestMethod(string param1)
{
    return │param1 == testString;
}

VB.NET

Private testString As String = "My text"
Private Function TestMethod(ByVal param1 As String) As String
    Return │param1 = testString
End Function

Result:

C#

private string testString = "My text";
private bool TestMethod(string param1)
{
    return │String.Compare(param1, testString, false) == 0;
}

VB.NET

Private testString As String = "My text"
Private Function TestMethod(ByVal param1 As String) As String
    Return │String.Compare(param1, testString, False) = 0
End Function
