I'm kind of new to VB.net, and since I just finished a C# course, the lack of parentheses creates a lot of confusion on how to write certain combinations of operators.

The C# equivalent of the line I am trying to reproduce in VB would be like this :

if ( (a == 0 && b != null) || (a == 1 && c != null) )

I'm have no idea how to write this in VB, I've tried many combinations of And, Or, AndAlso, OrElse, etc. but I can't achieve the desired result.

I can't find any clear example of C# v.s. VB.net comparison on operators, and the notes I have aren't helpful either.

Can someone help me figure this out?
