TC,
I would recommend Ken's example
Dim strC As String
strC= new String("C"c,10) ' New string CCCCCCCCCC
Me.Text = strC
Note if you are using Option Strict On (you are using Option Strict On
correct!), you will need to specify a Char literal as opposed to a String
Literal. A Char literal looks like a String literal only it has a lower case
c on the end.
"A"c is a char literal
"A" is a string literal.
There is also the StrDup function found in the Microsoft.VisualBasic.Strings
module that you can use to create the string.
strC = StrDup(10, "C"c)
strC = StrDup(10, "C")
Dim obj As Object = "C"
obj = StrDup(10, obj)
Which is overloaded for Char, String and Object, so its more forgiving with
Option Strict On. Note the Object overload returns an Object, however the
parameter still needs to contain a String or Char.
Hope this helps

Visual Basic used to have a function called String(), which would create a
repeating character string. Is that gone in VB .NET?
