Strings are supported by the .NET String class in Visual Basic.
We declare a String this way,

Dim strText as String

We can also initialize a string like this,
Dim myString As String="Welcome to Visual Basic"

A String can contain upto 2 billion Unicode characters.
Besides the String handling functions built in VB.NET,.NET framework functions are built into the String class that VB.NET uses.

For Eg:
The Visual Basic UCase function will convert strings to upper case and so will the String class's ToUpper method.

Option Strict On

Module Module1
Sub Main()
Dim strText1 As String="Welcome"
Dim strText2 As String
Dim strText3 As String

strText2=UCase(strText1)
strText3=strText1.ToUpper

System.Console.WriteLine(strText2)
System.Console.WriteLine(strText3
End Sub
End Module
