Resolved problem with select case

[andyvl]

Select Case toCheck
Case toCheck.ToUpper.StartsWith("OPERATIONS INDIA")
actionIndia()
Case toCheck.ToUpper.StartsWith("OPERATIONS FRANCE")
actionFrance()
End Select

is not working. it doesn't do anything althoug a watch on
toCheck.ToUpper.StartsWith("OPERATIONS INDIA")

is listed as TRUE


what am I overlooking in my code?

That's because you're checking a string (toCheck) against booleans. You need to change it to check a boolean against boolean cases:

Select Case True
    Case toCheck.ToUpper.StartsWith("OPERATIONS INDIA")
        actionIndia()
    Case toCheck.ToUpper.StartsWith("OPERATIONS FRANCE")
        actionFrance()
End Select

It happens to me too, and I've been programming for quite a few years now
