vb.net - String.Compare を使用しようとすると、VB コンパイル エラーが発生する

Question

vb.netを使用して、パスワードが同じかどうか（大文字に関しても）を確認しようとしています。しかし、ライン

 result = String.Compare(actPassword,userPassword)

エラー「コンパイルエラー: 予想される:(」を出し続ける

Private Sub Login_Click()
    'Check to see if data is entered into the UserName combo box
     If IsNull(Me.cmbLoginID) Or Me.cmbLoginID = "" Then
        MsgBox "You must enter a User Name.", vbOKOnly, "Required Data"
        Me.cmbLoginID.SetFocus
       Exit Sub
      End If

            Me.txtPW.SetFocus
        Exit Sub
        End If

      result = String.Compare(actPassword,userPassword)
      If result = -1 Then

            DoCmd.Close acForm, "Login", acSaveNo

        intLogonAttempts = intLogonAttempts + 1
