VB6.FixedLengthString(100)

[andyburrow]

Hi All,

I've pretty much finished a Webcam App that i've coded, but there's a build error that I need to solve.

It says 'Type VB6.FixedLengthString' not defined.

Apparently, this is something to do with a Library that needs to be referenced??

Thanks for any help
Andy

You cannot specify the length of a string in VB.NET like you used to be able to do in VB6. Read this for more info:

I've just read that article and it say's:

"In Visual Basic .NET, you cannot declare a string to have a fixed length unless you use the VBFixedStringAttribute Class attribute in the declaration."

So from that, I read that it is possible by using the above Call attribute in the declaration?

you could use a Character Array to have a set length.
