VB.Net Left of Substring

The above usage of Left and Substring are equivalent.

Left is a traditional VB approach popular with developers moving from VB Classic to VB.Net. Substring is considered the .Net way of doing string manipulation.

Syntax Example:

Dim FullName

FullName = "Prestwood"
Console.WriteLine("Hello " + Left(FullName, 4))
Console.WriteLine("Hello " + FullName.Substring(0, 4))
