[RESOLVED] IIF in VB.NET....C# = ???

[Wokawidget]

Dim Growl As String = "This is some data"
Dim Woof As String = IIf(Growl.Trim = String.Empty, "Hi", "Bye")

What I have in C# is:

string Growl = "MyData";
string Woof = (Growl.Trim() = string.Empty ? "Hi" : "Bye");

But it squiggly blue lines the string.empty and says cannot convert to boolean.

Any ideas?

Woof

fat lot of use you lot were

string Username = "MyData";
string Woof =(Username.Trim().Equals(string.Empty) ? "Hi" : "Bye");

Fixed

Woof

That's because yuo are using an assignment operator instead of an equality operator. You need this:

string Woof = (Growl.Trim() == string.Empty ? "Hi" : "Bye");

One "=" is assignment, two "=" is equality.

A nineteen minute turn-around isn't too bad. I still haven't recovered from your collection thread.

My collection class works perfectly..maybe a little unorthadox, but it wrks
I have an updated class now...you know I never do anything by halves
