Did it go away? Does it belong to some obscure namespace? help! :)

Argh! What happened to Len() in VB.NET?If you aren't developing in 
VS.NET then you have to import the VisualBasic namespace in order to use 
it's runtime. Key in the line:

Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic

Alternatively, you can call MyString.Length to get a count of 
characters, if you want to get the length of a numeric type, you can 
call MyInt.ToString().Length
(where MyInt, and MyString represent a variable of type string, and 
integer respectively)

Getting the length of a numeric type is discouraged, because it causes a 
boxing operation to convert the value type integer, into a reference 
type string.

Thanks,
Garland
