# Make ElseIf Statement Check Strings

Hi,\
How to [check](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/story/2248/never-forget-to-check-these-specifications-before-buying-a-mobile-phone) **[textbox](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/12714/dynamic-textbox-in-gridview)** [equals](https://www.mindstick.com/interview/33895/difference-between-and-equals-method-in-c-sharp) to the [string](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/1527/string-split-in-c-sharp) in **My.Settings.Something** in [VB.NET](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/426/sqlsever-2000-in-network-with-vb-dot-net-2008)?\

Hi Samuel,\
You can used If Else statement for checking Strings\

```
    If My.Settings.Something <> TextboxName.Text Then         // to do if...    ElseIf My.Settings.Something = TextboxName.Text Then         // to do else if...    ElseIf My.Settings.Something = 999 Then         // to do else if...    Else        // to do else...     End If
```

**\**Depending on variable types you using in the settings you might need to use **My.Settings.Something.ToString()** instead of My.Settings.Something Additionally, it might be needed to first store the variable from the textbox into a variable of the right type.\

```
   Dim dblVar as Double   dblVar = TextBoxName.Text
```
