John,
what are the preferred VB.NET analogues for IsNumeric() and Len() and
CInt() & similar string-manipulation functions in VB6
They still exist as a major part from Vb.net, this question is often
discussed in this newsgroup.
So you can search for those threads (keywords like mid or len)
Beside this you can use much more methodes.
Look for instance for the string members and the regex, but there are a lot
more.
An advise often given in this newsgroup is, take that what fits you the
most, the result of the endcode will not be a big difference.
I hope this helps a little bit.
Cor
Ps. not all functions still exist.
