How can i find how many times a character appears in a string.

for eg.

i want to find how many times "a" occures in "Visual Basic"

Something like this.
Dim Look() as Char {"A"c, "a"c}
If not S is Nothing then
I = 0
Do While I > - 1
I = s.IndexOfAny(Look,I) then
If I > -1 then nCount += 1
I += 1
Loop
End If

this is how you can do it .NET way

Dim myRegex As New Regex("a")
Dim myString As String = "Visual Basic"
Dim mc As MatchCollection = myRegex.Matches(myString)
MessageBox.Show(mc.Count)
