Remarks
To determine the number of characters in str, use the Len function. If used in a Windows Form, or any other class that has a Right property, you must fully qualify the function with Microsoft.VisualBasic.Strings.
Examples
This example demonstrates the use of the Right function to return a substring of a given String. In a class that has a Right property, it may be necessary to fully qualify the Right function.
Dim TestString As String = "Hello World!"
' Returns "World!".
Dim subString As String = Microsoft.VisualBasic.Right(TestString, 6)
