Return Value
Type: System::String^Returns a string containing a specified number of characters from the right side of a string.
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentException | Length < 0. |
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.Right.
Note |
|---|
The RightB function in earlier versions of Visual Basic returns a string in bytes, rather than characters. It is used primarily for converting strings in double-byte character set (DBCS) applications. All current Visual Basic strings are in Unicode, and RightB is no longer supported. |
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 = Right(TestString, 6)
