When converting VB6 code to VB 2005, I get some conversions that are in the form "VB6.FixedLengthString(cintBufferSize)". This usually occurs in a Type declaration where a string has to be of a certain length. What does this mean, and what would be the correct format to use in a Structure in VB 2005
Thanks,

VB6.FixedLengthString(intBufferSize)

if a string has to be of a fixed length, you can either:
1) use a stringbuilder and specify a specific capacity (and best practice to do this for handling strings)
2) take a look at this:

I guess from reading it, you can specify the "space" length:
Dim theString as String = Space(length)
where length is the capacity you wish to assign to the string variable
does this help

The Space(length) format did the trick.
