Microsoft.VisualBasic.Left(x, 5)
Microsoft.VisualBasic.Right(x, 5)

Microsoft.VisualBasic is available essentially for backward compatibility (and to ease the transfer process to .Net).

The ".Net way" is to use String.Substring as in:

  Private Sub Button4_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button4.Click

    Dim s As String = "This is a string"

    MessageBox.Show(s.Substring(0, 4))  ' = left
    MessageBox.Show(s.Substring(s.Length - 6)) ' =  right

  End Sub

Hope this helps.
