trimming text!

[vbnow]

I use to use this code to trim spaces like back spacing in vb6:

varlenght = Len(txtKeypad.Text) - 1
txtKeypad = Left(txtKeypad.Text, varlenght)

This does not work in vb.net.
Any suggestions please!!!

Thanks!

That ought to work fine, although you can now use the Length and SubString methods of the String class.

still does not work!

vb.net does not recognize "left" in the above code.

Then try the other thing I suggested.

I am not 100% sure, but
I think that in vb.net
to use the left function you have to use it like this.....

Microsoft.Visualbasic.left(xxxxx,x,x)

Anystring.Substring seems to be a better way to do this.

Try this:

varlenght = Len(txtKeypad.Text) - 1
txtKeypad = mid(txtkeypad.text,1,varlength)

I use mid() for trimming of spaces and grabbing certain info from a string. Alot easier in my opinion. Hope it helps.

Thanks slyprid!

Your sollution worked. I only I had to add the .Text to the txtKeypad because vb.net does not allow shortcuts like vb6.

Thanks again!
