Step 1: Click Visual Basic to Cut-n-paste code into clsInStrRev.vb
Public Class clsInStrRev
Public Sub Main()
'****************************************************************************************
' Purpose: returns integer of the position of the first occurrence of one string
' within another, starting from the right side of the string. If the string is
' not found, the result is 0
'
' Syntax: InStrRev(stringToSearch,stringToFind,startIndex,compareMethod)
'
' Parameter1: stringToSearch - Required - string that you want to search
'
' Parameter2: stringToFind - Required - string that you are trying to
' find into parameter2
'
' Parameter3: startIndex - Optional. Numeric expression setting the
' one-based starting position for each search, starting from the
' left side of the string. If Start is omitted then –1 is used,
' meaning the search begins at the last character position.
' Search then proceeds from right to left.
'
' Parameter4: comparemethod - Optional - integer indicating binary or text
'
' Result: integer - returns integer of the position of the first occurrence
' of one string within another, starting from the right side of the
' string. If the string is not found, the result is 0
'
' Quick Example: Dim strString1 As String = "Hello World"
' Console.WriteLine(InStrRev(strString1, "l").ToString()) 'Returns 10
'
'****************************************************************************************
Console.WriteLine("Example #1: InStrRev(stringcheck,stringmatch,start,comparemethod) ")
Dim strString1 As String = "Hello World"
Console.WriteLine(InStrRev(strString1, "l").ToString()) 'Returns 10
Console.WriteLine(InStrRev(strString1, "x").ToString()) 'Returns 0 because not found
'write blank line to make output easier to read
Console.WriteLine()
'Prevent console from closing before you press enter
Console.ReadLine()

Prerequistes:
- Install Visual Basic (Express or Standard Edition)
- Install SQL Server Express
- Download Northwind and pubs Database
- Attach Northwind Database to Databases in Sql Express
- Attach pubs Database to Databases in Sql Express
Notes:
- Console Application is used to simplify things, but Windows Forms or Web Forms could also be used
- You can build a library of syntax examples by using same project over and over and just commenting out what you do not want to execute in Module1.vb
Instructions:

- Use Visual Basic 2010 Express or Standard Edition
- Create new project;
- Click File/New Project
- Select Console Application Template
- Select Visual Basic for Language
- name of project could be VBNET_Syntax.
- Add New folder named “StringManipulation”
- Right-click project name in solution explorer;
- add new folder;
- name of folder could be: StringManipulation
- Add Class Named clsInStrRev to StringManipulation folder
- Right-click StringManipulation folder;
- add new item;
- Select class
- Class name could be clsInStrRev
- Click on Visual Basic in code in step 1 above to copy code into clsInStrRev.vb
- Click on Visual Basic in code in step 2 above to copy code into Module1.vb
- Click green arrow or press F5 to run program
