Whats the equivalent of '!=' or 'ne' in VB?

I know howto do it in perl, but in VB how do you check if one variable doesn't equal another?

I've tried searching through the forums, but haven't had any luck.

Also, can someone tell me what the following is used for (inbetween the text variables)? I've seen it a lot in code examples.

Code:

---

Text1.Text <> Text2.Text

Thanks A lot!

ehehehehehe........
<> is not equals.....
like != is not equals in C, and javascript

...or you can look up the NOT keyword

I always use the Not keyword, it makes code clearer, it's the equivilent of ! in C++, so instead of

If a<>b Then

I go for

If Not (a=b) Then

for large statements good use of the Not, And (&&) and Or (||) are realy useful.

Which is faster, <> or not?

I knew the answer had to be staring me in the face :)

Thanks for the replies guys!

never tested it. I imagine that in acuality they'd be about the same but if I were to bet, I'd say that 'NOT' was faster, it implies one less operation...

I imagine the difference would be difficult to detect if it in fact existed.

Ok, i've tested it got 5,03 µs as a normal for both

I tested it too,

<> is faster than Not = for numbers
Not is faster than <> for strings


but the difference is really small ;)
