In vb dot net, what is the syntax to see if something is a string?

In vb dot net, what is the syntax to see if something is a string? For
example, if I read FieldX from a table I want to do something like:

If FieldX is string then
'Do something
end if

except I know "is string" is not correct. What is the correct syntax?

Hello Tom,

use Regexp for this
See there http://regexlib.com/Search.aspx?k=string for expressions

I don't think this will help. The OP isn't looking for strings, he's
looking to see if something is a string.
