@ZachT124The StringUtils component has a method to compare two strings. The method is Equals. It can even ignore culture and case if those options are selected. That is what you want to use. I suspect you have a casing issue (where one string has capital letters and the other does not). Your boolean expression seems correct, although you've defined your input with the name of your variable. Normally, I would write my expression something like;

• A==B
• A.ToUpper().Trim()==B.ToUpper().Trim()
• A=="Whatever string you want to hard-code"

It looks like you are passing the result of a boolean expression into an Equals which doesn't make sense. The boolean expression will return true or false and not a string. If you want to use the Equals method, pass it a string and then enter into the block the value you want to hard-code.

To write a method in C#, you would use the Script component. From there, you can write your C# as you like. Once you validate the script, the public methods you've written will be visible in the Object Explorer Methods section (where you normally grab methods for controls from Object Explorer).
