Conditional breakpoint not working

Question

The above code has a conditional breakpoint set at its bottom line in yellow followed by the Breakpoint Settings dialog which should work with: item.Value == "aday"

However I get the below error, I have searched online for this and can't find any reason why this should fail. Im using VS 2015 Pro.

EDIT- Thank you for pointing out the obvious error on my part, I do normally code in C#. But now using a single '=' I get this??????? I assume that I it equates to an assignment, and adding parenthesis didn't help either?

Answer 1

Just tested with a sample VB.NET project.
The problem is the ==. This is C# syntax but since you have a VB.NET application you should use a single equal

item.Value = "aday" 

(I have always something new to learn from SO)

Answer 2

If item.Value.Equals("aday") Then 'Temp If please remove
                    Debugger.Break()
                end if

Works in strict mode.
