VBCompareMethod Rule

Avoid references to the legacy VBCompareMethod class.

Remarks

In general, you should avoid references to members of the Microsoft Visual Basic .NET Runtime library. Most of the members of this library are for backwards compatibility with older version of Visual Basic. Generally, references to legacy calls do not take full advantage of the .NET framework, and are not portable to other languages without an explicit reference to the Microsoft Visual Basic .NET Runtime library . In almost every case, you can replace calls to this library with .NET equivalents.

Resolution

The Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompareMethod class provides an enumeration that supports a variety of Visual Basic legacy string functions, such as Filter, InStr, Replace, Split, and StrComp. Consider replacing the calls to these functions with .NET code from the System.String class.
