Sourceis less thanLength, spaces are added to the right of the returned string so that its length becomesLength.
VB.NET/VB 6 Differences
In VB 6,
LSetwas implemented as a kind of assignment statement. Because it is implemented as a function in VB.NET, its syntax is completely different.In VB 6,
LSetcould be used only with fixed-length strings. In VB.NET, LSet works with all CTS String data.
