VB.Net Query

[directred]

What do I have to do so that I just need to do Right(Text1.Text, 10) rather than type Microsoft.VisualBasic.Right(Text1.Text, 10)

strings.Right(Text1.Text, 10)

In a default VB.Net application you shouldn't have to do anything. Microsoft.VisualBasic is one of the default imports in the project template and Right(str,len) works, as is. If it is not working you can 1) Include an Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic statement at the top of the file 2) Add Microsoft.VisualBasic as one of the imports in the project settings. Project Properties/Common Properties/Imports One caveat though, as mentioned, Microsoft.VisualBasic is included by default whenever you create project. If it is no longer there then someone must have explictly removed it and may have a good reason for this. hth, Alan.
