Fixed length string questions.

VB 6.00 gave error for the following.

VB Code:

Private Function X(Value As Integer) As String*2

It wanted to terminate statement after As String, indicating that a Function is not allowed to return a fixed length string.

Is this true? A Function cannot return fixed length string?

BTW: I read a year or more ago that VB Net does not allow fixed length strings in any context. Is this still true? Is there a way around this in VB net? Any indication that VB net might be enhanced to allow fixed length strings?

According to Help, you should be able to do something like this in .net ...

VB Code:

Dim MyFixedLengthString As New VB6.FixedLengthString(2)

I don't know for sure though.

:)

As for the original question...Apparently not.
