Hi Martin,
Thanks for posting in the community!
From your description, you are wondering which namespace to import since
you'd like to use the "Left" function of classic VisualBasic in VB.NET, yes?
If there is anything I misunderstood, please feel free to let me know.
As for this question, I think Eliyahu's answer is exact the one you want:
"Microsoft.VisualBasic". Add it in the project's reference list. Then, you
can use the "Left" as well as many other classic VisualBasic apis. For
detailed info on "Microsoft.VisualBasic" runtime library , you may view the
following reference in MSDN:
#Visual Basic Run-Time Library Members

ords.asp?frame=true
In addition, since you'd like to use the "left" function to do string
manipulation, would you please also have a look on the System.String class
in dotnet frame work. The String class also provide may good member methods
for string manipulation such as "Substring" "Replace" "IndexOf" "Split"
"Join" ...etc. You may view the following web link for more detailed
description:

Please check out the preceding suggestions. If you have any other
questions, please feel free post here.
