•If
string is Nothing, a runtime error occurs.
• VB includes the Replace function, which enhances the functionality of the Mid
statement by allowing you to specify the number of times a replacement is carried
out in the same string.
• Because it is a statement, this version of
Mid does not accept named arguments.
Mid is implemented by the compiler rather than by the String data type.

Usage at a Glance
•IfOption Strict is Off and the two values have different numeric data types, the
narrower data type is automatically converted to the wider data type before use in
the function.
• This is a shared member of the System.Math class, so it can be used without an
instance.
Version Differences
The Min function did not exist in VB 6.
