Hi,
I have a textbox that I want to found out if the data entered into it starts off with certain text i.e.

if the user typed in "http://myserver/sharedname" as the path for the file, i want to be able to tell if it's a web addres...

the way i'm trying to do it to cut down on code rather than parsing through the string is to...


Select Case txtNetPath.Text.ToString
Case strPrefix.StartsWith("http://") = true
MsgBox("http://")
Case strPrefix.StartsWith("https://") = true
MsgBox("https://")
End Select

this select case doesn't work, yet an if then does.... I rather use the select case since it is easier to look at and faster? thanks.
