Example in Clarion:

IF INLIST(MyField, "Male", "Female", "Both")
    MESSAGE("Valid")
ELSE
    MESSAGE("INVALID")
END

In Clarion I could test for multiple values with a single statement as shown above (I believe up to 25 values at a time).  Is there a similar statement in VB.NET?  Currently I have code like:

IF MyField <> "Male" AND MyField <> "Female" AND MyField <> "Both"
...
END

Thank you for any ideas!

Dim lcItem As String

Sorry for the newbie questions!

Either case will work.  Steve's example is also a very good idea as well if you don't need to do any internal processing.  The only problem with using the IndexOf may be case-sensitivity.  Otherwise it is definitely the quickest route.
