Pointer Comparision

[Guest]

I know this should be simple but I can't find it.

Dim A as new object
Dim B as object
B = A

Do Bunch of stuff

Check if B still = A

This is basically pointer comparision in C++ days. how do I check that
A and B still point to the same object?

I knew I knew it.

If B is A then

end if

While the '=' operator is used to assign references, the 'Is' operator is
used to test for object identity (reference equality):

\\\

' Check for reference-equality.
If A Is B Then...

' Check for reference-inequality.
If Not A Is B Then...
If A IsNot B Then... ' VB 2005 only!
