Sorry, I don't want to post this question here. Other questions like mine have been posted before, but I haven't found an answer yet.

I am trying to do a simple string match using string.contains

```
 If Not dataRow("Name").ToString().Contains(UserName) Then
  --do something--
End If

```

but that's not working in my condition

```
dataRow("Name").ToString()= "Steve Cook"
UserName="Cook Steve"

```

I want to find the `%like` match (like SQL) but `.contains` not what I was expecting it to do?
