Right aligns a string

Rules at a Glance

  • If the length of Source is greater than or equal to Length, the function returns only the leftmost Length characters.

  • If the length of Source is less than Length, spaces are added to the left of the returned string so that its length becomes Length.

VB.NET/VB 6 Differences

  • In VB 6, RSet was 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, RSet could be used only with fixed-length strings. In VB.NET, RSet works with all CTS String data.
