Hi,
You cannot apply & (Logical AND) operator over strings. IF apply what the result you would expect?

but it can be applicable to integers.
Ex

int iInt = 10;
 if ((iInt & 10) == 10)
     MessageBox.Show("(iInt & 10) == 10 is True");

What the...?! Logical AND is a CPU operator that flips bits, how could you possibly do that to a System::String object?

You're looking for either a System::Text::RegularExpressions::Regex or &&.

In C this would "work" in that you'd compare bits in the pointer, but in C# you don't have direct access to memory so it's not "legal" and the compiler won't let you even try.
