VB 6.00 gave error for the following.
VB Code:
  1. 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?
