Question

I have recently upgraded from VS2005 to VS2010. In my .Net 2.0 code I referenced the Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll and used the StringType.StrLike method to perform glob string comparison. I just noticed that according to MSDN, StringType is deprecated. Is there a replacement for the Like operator in VS2010/.Net 4.0?

Answer 1

Try using the LikeOperator instead.

using Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices;

...

if (LikeOperator.LikeString(left, right, CompareMethod.Text)) {
  ...
}
