First one should have been Aint. This way, we could get into childish arguments:

If myThing Is IsNot Is IsNot Nothing then...
'Says you...
End If

The TryCast will be cool, though. It's been one of the very few items (As) I've really started to like in C# and miss in VB.

Both of those look cool to me.

Hi,

I am doing a project on forex. my client's requirement is that the currency values should be update daily by the system itself.
I am developing the system in VB/Access.
There is website of Thomas Cook which contains the table of all currency values. The link as below :
http://www.thomascook.co.in/tc/user/forex/forexcurrencyrates.jsp?jsessionid=2580261077697883828

So, my problem I want the currency values, in the above link to update my 'Currency_Master' Table in MS-Access when click a command button.

Please help or provide some code for it on
shivnil2@rediffmail.com.

thank you,
with regards,
shivnil

Great, now we can finally start to write some "proper" code:

If Not something IsNot somethingElse Then
...
End If

:)

The IsNot operator seems a bit pointless but the TryCast is quite a nice touch, even though I can't imagine that the performance improvement will be that significant.

IsNot is equivalent to using <> instead of not(x=y), so to my mind it fills a little gap.

TryCast is extra sweet if you have to check for nothing anyway.

I have an important question

Why it has to be such horribe looking mess? For example:

If myString IsNot Nothing Then

Could be:
if (myString) { }

and

If myString Is Nothing Then

could be:
if (!myString) { }

Much more clean and simpler.
