I inherited some code from a former employee, who was unable to cut the
umbilical cord from VB6. His code is littered with calls to VB6 functions
like Space(), String(), Left(), Mid(), Right(), Len(), Val(), etc.
I know the .Net equivalents of everything except Val().
Int32.Parse allows you to filter out characters like "$" and "," and
whitespace, but it still can't emulate the Val() function completely.
Alright, who here in this group knows the answer?
Thanks,
Mike

I hope you don't try to replace these handy functions!

There is no 1:1 replacement available.

Why not use 'Val'? It's a VB.NET function.

Hi Herfried,
Why not use 'Val'? It's a VB.NET function.
That is true but I think not a good answer

You are wayyy too cool to like those functions..plea se tell me it's just
some of that Austrian sarcasm ;-)
just use
microsoft.Visua lBasic.Val()
the microsoft.visua lbasic class has all the old VB functions and they work
exactly the same..

Hi Bill,
I think it has nothing to do with sarcasme.
There seems a strange thinking with some people who think that by limiting
themself by only using the System part they are programming for the Net.

I'm trying to implement something that would speed up data entry. I'd
like to be able to take a string, and increment ONLY the right-most
numerical characters by one. The type structure of the data that is in
this field can vary. It's a list of mechanical equipment, and how it
is designated varies based on how the customer has them labeled. For
example, a list of their equipment might look like:
CH-1
CH-2
CH-3

Hello,
I'm converting some old VB6 code to use with ASP.NET and have come

Is there such a function available in C#? I can see that VB.NET has one,
but I couldn't see how to get at it in C#.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
