comparing two VARIANTS

[Vasuki]

hi

when I try to compare two VARIANTS, i get a compilation error.

when i tried the same in version visual studio 7.0 it works fine but with
7.1 it gives me the following compilation error:
binary '!=' : no operator found which takes a left-hand operand of type
'VARIANT' (or there is no acceptable conversion)

can any one help

Thanks

The (somewhat) equivalent generic type in .NET is Object. If you are using
VB 6 or earlier, I'd suggest posting in:

microsoft.public.vb.general.discussion

or one of the other microsoft.public.vb... groups.

Consider using Object instead and using Is and IsNot for comparisons per:

OK, so what project type, and what extensions of C++ are you using that
define type VARIANT?
Is it C++/CLI in Visual Studio 2005, or some other extension and an earlier
version of Visual Studio?
Are you referring to the _variant_t class? If so, read here about
comparisons.
