Empty string

Hi...

Is there a .NET equivalent to VB6's vbNullString ? If not, how do we set a
string to NULL?

Is the following 1 & 2 equivalent:

Dim Test as String

1. Test = String.Empty
2. Test = ""

Use "symbol search"

A string is never Null. A string variable is either Nothing, or it points to
a String with any length (including zero length).

Dim Test as String

1. Test = String.Empty
2. Test = ""


Yes.
