what is the equivlant of the vb 6 instr
I have a string there has "*D*N"
I want to find the position that the D is in with a dotnet (VB) function

Hi Brian,
You might not believe it, but you can use InStr ;-)
Strings.InStr
If you want to go the .NET way, then you might want to use Strings.IndexOf .
Please note that like in VB6, InStr is 1-based while IndexOf is 0-based.
Best regards,
Martin

That's FUD.
As Michel said, the msvb namespace is part of the framework. That means it is
there forever in 2.0, 3.0, and 3.5. If some future version of the framework
drops them, just stick to the versions that already have it. ;-)

It's confusion. Microsoft.Visua lBasic will always be there. It's
what makes VB.NET, well, VB.NET. What is likely to be removed at some
point (and probably not in the immediate future) is
Microsoft.Visua lBasic.Compatab ility - which is the library used to
contains some of the deprecated VB methods to VB.NET

Nonsense. They are part of Visual Basic and they have even survived the
transition from VB6 to VB.NET, so there is no reason for removing them. In
addition, they are well-tested code.

Perhaps a misunderstandin g. I never seen that so this is what I would called
a rumour... It's true though that some of the VB specific helpers are not
included in the compact framework...
So if plan to target the compact framework, it could make sense to avoid
using some of those VB specifics features....

Take a look in the help files. They tell you which parts of the language
are included in the compact framework.

I am trying to convert a complex function from Oracle to SQL Server
and have come across Oracle's Instr() function. I see SQL Server has
CHARINDEX() which is similar, however it does not provide some key
functionality I need. Here is an example of the Oracle code:
if Instr( sTg , cDelim, 1, 3 ) > 0 then
sd := SubStr( sTg, Instr( sTg , cDelim, 1, 1 ) + 1, Instr( sTg,
cDelim, 1, 2 ) - Instr( sTg , cDelim, 1, 1 ) - 1)

I'm banging my head against the desk because I can't find a solution for the following simple problem.
Case: There is a column in a table that has FamilyName and FirstName(s) in one field. ie "McCarthy,John Doe Willy". I have to split up Familyname and the 1st FirstName. The FamilyName works perfect, just looking up the comma with InStr and use Left().
Now can someone throw me a bone to help me get the 1st Firstname. "John" according...

I have a date stored like this '2004 - 2006' and I use this code to
get startyear and stopyear
StartYear: Trim(Left(,InStr(,"-")-1))

Is there a way to get this to only run on NON MISSING Project Dates?
