VB.NET String Equals function is to check the specified two String Object values are same or not

System.String.Equals(String str1, String str2) As Boolean

Parameters:

String str1 : The String argument

String str2 : The String argument

Returns:

Boolean : Yes/No

It return the values of the two String Objects are same

For ex :

Str1 = "Equals()"

Str2 = "Equals()"

String.Equals(Str1,Str2) returns True

String.Equals(Str1.ToLower,Str2) returns False

Because the String Objects values are different

Public Class Form1
    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
    ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim str1 As String = "Equals"
        Dim str2 As String = "Equals"

        If String.Equals(str1, str2) Then
            MsgBox("Strings are Equal() ")
        Else
            MsgBox("Strings are not Equal() ")
        End If
    End Sub
End Class
