Continue Through An If Statement If False

I'm trying to create a simple ignore list option for my program. When a sub runs, I want it to not execute some code if a user is on the list and a checkbox is checked.

I have tried this:

If Not My.Settings.IgnoredNames.Contains(PartnerDisplayName) AndAlso chkIgnore.Checked = False) Then
    'Do something...
End If

This works, except even when the check box is checked by itself the if statement doesn't continue. I don't have a clue how to rewrite it.

This will not work either and I don't really know why. The sub triggers on an certain API event, and exiting it like so still lets the real code go through.

If My.Settings.IgnoredNames.Contains(ParterDisplayName) And chkIgnore.Checked = True Then Exit Sub
'Do something...

Instead of using Nots and creating messy logic, just invert your If statement and short circuit out if you hit the condition where you don't want to run the code:

If My.Settings.IgnoredNames.Contains(PartnerDisplayName) AndAlso chkIgnore.Checked = True Then
    Return
End If
' Do your other logic here.
