Invalid expression term '>'

The error is most likely for some VB programmer coding C#. The following snippet shows you why:

Wrong

if (value.Length <> 0)
                

Correct

if (value.Length != 0)
                
or 

if (value.Length > 0)
                

VB Programmers tend to use <>:)
