vb.net equivalent to VB replicate() function

[chriscboy]

Hi,

Is there a vb.net method to replace the replicate() function that was in vb? I checked the string class and can't seem to find it. Do I need to write my own?

Thanks in advance.

Regards

Chris

Exactly what was the Replicate() function? I just checked, and there is no such function in my copy of VB 6. Do you mean the Replace() function?

I'm not familiar with the VB6 replicate function, what does it do?

I think that's a sql server function.

Oops, sorry peeps, I got my languages mixed up! In VB it is called String(), its used to replicate a string x number of times

e.g. String(5,"*") would return "*****"

Hope that makes sense.
