VB Sucks

I mean, duh. But seriously!?

If If(str, "").Contains("html") Then
    /* .. */
End If

C# Equivalent

if (str ?? "").Contains("html") {
    /* .. */
}

Note: This is the null coalesce operator. It is syntactic sugar for a null check (see below).

C++ Equivalent

if (str != NULL && strstr(str, "html") != NULL) {
    /* .. */
}

On the bright (slightly less pitch black) side, at least I didn't have to type the "Nothing" keyword.
