is there a way to use shorthand to do something like this?
If Not txtBookTitle.Text = String.Empty Then objBook.DisplayName = txtBookTitle.Text End If
Syntax of Visual Basic If Else Statement Following is the sample example of using the If Else statement in a visual basic programming language. If you observe the above example, whenever the defined condition (x >= 10) returns true, the If condition will be executed; otherwise, the Else block of code will be executed.
In Visual Basic, If statement is useful to execute the block of code or statements conditionally based on the value of an expression. Generally, in Visual Basic, the statement that needs to be executed based on the condition is known as a “Conditional Statement” and the statement is more likely a block of code.
For strings in Visual Basic, the empty string equals Nothing . Therefore, "" = Nothing is true. If you declare a variable without using an As clause and set it to Nothing , the variable has a type of Object . An example of this is Dim something = Nothing .
The IsNull function returns a Boolean value that indicates whether a specified expression contains no valid data (Null). It returns True if expression is Null; otherwise, it returns False.
