VB.Net .Clear() or txtbox.Text = "" textbox clear methods

Question

Not far into programming and just joined this forum of mighty company so this is a silly question, but what is the best way to clear textboxes in VB.Net and what is the difference between the two methods? I have also seen people be critical of folk using clear objects on their forms and I can see why but in this case, I am only learning.

txtbox1.Clear()

or

txtbox1.Text = ""

Any help is much appreciated.

Answer 1

The two methods are 100% equivalent.

I’m not sure why Microsoft felt the need to include this extra Clear method but since it’s there, I recommend using it, as it clearly expresses its purpose.
