Question

Hi I need to use the “<>” (not equal to) operator for a peice of coding which uses the SheduledAction class, but I keep getting this error:

Error   1   Operator '<>' is not defined for types 'Microsoft.Phone.Scheduler.ScheduledAction' and 'Microsoft.Phone.Scheduler.ScheduledAction'

Dim hw As ScheduledAction = ScheduledActionService.Find("Hello World")

        If hw <> Nothing Then
...

Answer 1
