Question

In the C programming language, “DO TASK” always runs because a is assigned the value 1, rather than compared to the value 1:

    int a;
    a=0;
   if (a=1)
   {
       //DO TASK
   }

I am trying to figure out how this works in VB6 and .NET. The following article suggests that the equality operator in .NET is ‘=’ and not ‘==’: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/215yacb6.aspx.

What is the equality operator in VB6 and VB.NET?

Answer 1

Yes = is the equality operator in VB6 and VB.Net.

Can I respectfully suggest that you read the documentation? Trial and error is a very slow way to learn a language. Here’s the VB6 documentation

• VB6 = operator
• VB6 assignment statement
