How to declare a fixed-length string in VB.NET?

Question

How do i Declare a string like this:

Dim strBuff As String * 256

in VB.NET?

Answer 1

Try this:

    Dim strbuf As New String("A", 80)

Creates a 80 character string filled with "AAA...."'s

Here I read a 80 character string from a binary file:

    FileGet(1,strbuf)

reads 80 characters into strbuf...
