myString.Substring ( 3, 1 ) ' This throws ArgumentOutOfRangeException.
Dim test2 As Boolean = String.Compare ( myString.Substring ( 3, 0 ), String.Empty ) = 0 ' This is true.

[ C# ]
String myString = "abc";
bool test1 = String.Compare ( myString.Substring ( 2, 1 ), "c" ) == 0; // This is true.

bool test2 = String.Compare ( myString.Substring ( 3, 0 ), String.Empty ) == 0; // This is true.

[ C++ ]

String *myString = L"abc";
bool test1 = String::Compare ( myString->Substring ( 2,1 ), L"c" ) == 0;  // This is true.
myString->Substring ( 3,1 );  // This throws ArgumentOutOfRangeException.
bool test2 = String::Compare ( myString->Substring ( 3,0 ), String::Empty ) == 0;  // This is true.

[ JScript ]
