String.StartsWith function (Vb.net)

String StartsWith function

String.StartsWith() function is used to check whether the specified string starts on your desired input character or not.

System.String is the library for this function.

 

Example1

Dim str1 As String = "Saad Bin Saulat"

MsgBox(str1.StartsWith("S"))

Result

The message box will returns true because the string str1 is starting from capital "s".

Example2

Dim str1 As String = "Saad Bin Saulat"

MsgBox(str1.StartsWith("s"))

Result

The message box will returns false because the string str1 is not starting from small "s", hence starting from capital "S".

Example3

Dim str1 As String = "Saad Bin Saulat"

MsgBox(str1.StartsWith("s", StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase))

Result

The message box will returns true because the due to StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase parameter, StartsWith() function now only checks the letter not the case.
