SSRS - Check if a substring is contained in a string by code

Question

I have a report and a vb function in the code. I would like to know how can I check if a string is contained in a string. For example:

I want to check if "over" is contained in "stackoverflow". How can I do this by code in reporting services (ssrs) in a rdl file?
