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

[Jacob.Wheeler]

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.

Text1.Text <> Text2.Text

Thanks A lot!
