Hello all,
I have a simple declaration on VB6 now I like to have it on VB.net how do I declare it?

Ex: dim ch as String * 1 'VB6

I am just learning VB.net so I can't make it work in VB.net
Thanks for all helps.

What's the * 1 for?
I just declare it the same way in .NET as in VB6
ex. Dim strName As String 'both for VB6 and VB.NET

Hope it helps.

I had the same question when I started with vb.net. I was told that you can not declare a string variable with a length. The way I handled it was to create a additional variable for the length. See the example below.

DIM strFirstName as String
DIM strFirstNameLength as integer = 30


Hope this helps,

David
