compatability of VB 6 with with VB.Net

Hi All,

Is there any way we can use the string functions of "Right" and "Left" of VB in VB.Net as it is.

Thanks and regards.

I believe you can.

Insert this at the top of your file

Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic

I have tried it but it didn't work for 'Right" and "Left".

Use the entire name Microsoft.VisualBasic.Right(string.....) although I would recommend converting to .NET stff and avoid the Microsoft.VisualBasic namespace when possible.

Left worked for me and I didn't have to fully qualify the name.

I agree we should avoid use of Microsoft.VisualBasic when possible.
