Overview

On creating displays for web deployments (Portable or HTML5 displays),  CodeBehind and expressions on the graphical elements, are compiled to .NET 8. 

This brings some incompatibilities with code created only for WPF, which are presented in this section.

Comparing Strings


The Net.8 compiler for VB.NET CodeBehind and embedded expressions won't accept the simplified syntax: if ( Tag.test = "ABC", .....

When you need to compare string the script.Compare() method should be used.

If (string.Compare( tag.Test, "abc") == 0, "equal", "not equal")
If (string.Compare( tag.Test, "abc", true) == 0, "equal", "not equal")
If (string.Compare( tag.Test, "abc", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) == 0, "equal", "not equal")


Dim s as string
If (string.Compare( @tag.Test, "abc", true) == 0) Then
   s = "equal"
Else
  s = "not equal"
Endif


If the CodeBehind is in C# (CSharp) the syntax with the direct is still accepted:  Test = "abc"
