What command creates character 'x' times ... 'xxxxx'

[harry]

Hi,

I would like to find command like:

RepeatThisCharacterXTimes(CharacterToRepeat, TimesToRepeat)

Dim MyString as String = RepeatThisCharacterXTimes("x", 5)
MyString is now 'xxxxx'

I'm sure I've seen this command previously however have not been able to
find it again. I also recall something similar in VB6.

Does it exist in VB.NET?

Thanks
Harry
