Notes
Assignment operator v.s. equals operator
The assignment operator and the equals operator use the same symbol. It depends on the context which operator is used. The assignment operator is used when a line of code follows this syntax: Identifier = Value;. In all other cases, the equals operator is used.
References equal
The References equal operator returns true if both identifiers hold the same reference (or: point to the same object).
For example:
Var i As String = "a"; Var j As String = "a"; WriteLine(i Is j); // false i = j; WriteLine(i Is j); // true
