    Don't give me workarounds when all I want to do is complain. :mad: I know it's super simple to write one myself, but the point is I should not have to. Seems pretty basic.

    It's that it was taken away because some moron decided for you that you didn't need it; that's what gets the teeth grinding.

                    But it was implemented. I'm now recompiling everything I've ever written in C#, to insert workarounds. It's a very happy job, as I'm sure you can imagine.

                        On the VB tab, it gives the VB syntax:

                        Public Shared Function Left (
                        str As String,
                        Length As Integer
                        ) As String

                        On the C# tab, it gives the C# syntax:

                        public static string Left(
                        string str,
                        int Length
                        )

                        I know that computery things seem complicated, Granny, but you ought to at least try to use them.

                          Oh, there is, but the definition of the word "music" has changed to be something to do with money for nothing.

                                Don't bother me with petty details when I'm in panic mode! Looks like I've always used Substring, anyway. Strange, that. It feels like I've used Left much more recently than I've used VB. {Insert Sid James comment here]

                                    So, C# has no left method on a string? :omg: :omg: It would be so easy to add one, lazy Microsoft C# developers. So, use substring. Whoops. Nope. Errors if you give it a length that is longer than the string. I miss VB. :sigh:

                                      Oh, there is, but the definition of the word "music" has changed to be something to do with money for nothing.

                                      I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

                                      You nailed it! In a few words you nailed it! Modern music is nothing and worth nothing! Now: How are we going to convince poor souls like Sander that this is true? :-D

                                        I'd suggest a 22oz Estwing and a bunch of four-inch nails.

                                          So, C# has no left method on a string? :omg: :omg: It would be so easy to add one, lazy Microsoft C# developers. So, use substring. Whoops. Nope. Errors if you give it a length that is longer than the string. I miss VB. :sigh:

                                          There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
