Where have the chr(), asc() function gone

Does anyone know where the asc() and chr() functions have gone?

Hi,

What makes you think they have gone anywhere? I can still use them in VB.NET 2003.

Code:

---

Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic

Module Module1
        Sub Main()
                Console.WriteLine(Strings.Asc("A"))
                Console.ReadLine()
        End Sub
End Module

Thanks wossname.

I could use them as asc("a") but that is vb6, to keep in with .NET I needed to find out where they had moved them to.
Daft as it is I kept typing in String. and wondered why intellesence was not coming up.
