VB.NET - If string contains "value1" or "value2"

Question

I'm wondering how I can check if a string contains either "value1" or "value2"? I tried this:

If strMyString.Contains("Something") Then

End if

This works, but this doesn't:

If strMyString.Contains("Something") or ("Something2") Then

End if

This gives me the error that conversion from string to Long can't be done. If I put the or ("Something2") inside the parenthesis of the first one, it gives me the error that the string cannot be converted to Boolean.

So how can I check if the string contains either "string1" or "string2" without having to write too much code?

You have to do it like this:

If strMyString.Contains("Something") OrElse strMyString.Contains("Something2") Then

End if
