Hello, here is the code for a simple Text-To-Speech program.

This should be added to a button and reads the text that is wrote in the "textbox1"

        Dim SAPI
        SAPI = CreateObject("sapi.spvoice")
        SAPI.Speak(TextBox1.Text)

There (: Enjoy!

how to compare 2 strings in in VB .Net simple code

code:

Public Class Form1
    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
    ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim str1 As String
        Dim str2 As String

        str1 = "vb.net"
        str2 = "VB.NET"

        Dim result As Integer

        result = String.Compare(str1, str2)
        MsgBox(result)

        result = String.Compare(str1, str2, True) 'true is case insensitive
        MsgBox(result)
    End Sub
End Class

result is Integer : returns less than zero, zero or greater than zero.
Less than zero : str1 is less than str2.
Zero : str1 is equal to str2.
Greater than zero : str1 is grater than str2.

When you run this program first you get -1 in message box and then 0
