How would I use instr and other such functions in a form. Whenever I try it get errors such as 'InStr' is not a member of 'String'
Thanks,
Mat

You can use String.IndexOf() method to replace the InStr function.
You should be able to use any of the string functions to manipulate a string like Substring, Trim, LastIndexOf etc..

If I do something like this:
dim sample as string = "12-34"
textbox1.text = Instr(sample, "-")
I get this as an error: "Name 'Instr' is not declared."

To use the old VB functions you will need to switch to your Code Tab and add the following line to the end of the Imports list
