Getting this error Method 'Microsoft.VisualBasic.Strings.Replace' not found.
in Visual Studio 2005 at compile time.

for this line: propfiles3 = Microsoft.VisualBasic.Strings.Replace(propfiles3, ".dot", "")

Have tried with and without: Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic

Have you tried just:

propfiles3 = propfiles3.Replace(".dot", "")

That works if I only have one replace, but if I replace multiple words from the same file, I am running into an error: The variable 'Propfiles5' is either undeclared or was never assigned.



Propfiles5 = propfiles3.Replace(".dot", "")
Propfiles5 = Propfiles5.Replace("Proposal-PRO", "")
Propfiles5 = Propfiles5.Replace("Proposal-INM", "")
Propfiles5 = Propfiles5.Replace("Proposal-CAST", "")
Propfiles5 = Propfiles5.Replace("Proposal-STAFFING", "")
Propfiles5 = Propfiles5.Replace("Proposal-GASTON", "")

Are you sure PropFiles5 is declared?

Dim s1 As String = "MyString.dot"
Dim s2 As String
s2 = s1.Replace(".dot", "")
s2 = s2.Replace("M","")

works fine for me.
