Public Function Replace(ByVal originalString As String, 
                        ByVal oldValue As String, 
                        ByVal newValue As String, 
                        ByVal comparisonType As StringComparison) As String
    If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(originalString) AndAlso 
       Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(oldValue) AndAlso 
       newValue IsNot Nothing Then
        Dim startIndex As Int32

        Do While True
            startIndex = originalString.IndexOf(oldValue, startIndex, comparisonType)
            If startIndex = -1 Then Exit Do
            originalString = originalString.Substring(0, startIndex) & newValue & 
                             originalString.Substring(startIndex + oldValue.Length)
            startIndex += newValue.Length
        Loop
    End If

    Return originalString
End Function
