Hi,

In VB.NET, to use the Left function to extract characters from a string, I need to write:

Microsoft.VisualBasic.Strings.Left(strSomething, 5)

if just Left(strSomething, 5), it will points to Left of another Class.

This problem does not occur however for Mid() and Right() function.

Is there any way to eliminate this problem?

Thx~
