  InStr is not a method of the string classes. It's a function!

  A better solution would be to use the native .Contains method.

  Dim MyString As String = "googlemailsearch"

  If MyString.Contains("mail") Then

  ' Do Something

  End If

  Yes I think 'Contains' would do the trick. Another way to do it would be to use 'IndexOf' - apart from telling you whether the substring is present, IndexOf would also tell you the location of the substring within the main string.

  Module Module1

  Sub Main()

  Dim str As String = "googlemailsearch"

  Console.WriteLine(str.IndexOf("mail")) 'Prints 6

  Console.WriteLine(str.IndexOf("absent")) 'Prints -1

  End Sub

  End Module

  
  Hope this helps.

  Hello Shah !

  Thanks for your immd reply.

  The following code helps good.

  Private Sub Form_Load()
  

  If InStr(1, "googlemailsearch", "mail") Then

  MsgBox ("Found It")

  End If

  End Sub

  Use InStr method of the string classs

  Dim str As String = "googlemailsearch"

  If InStr(str, "mail", CompareMethod.Text) Then

  MsgBox("Found It")

  End If
