LastIndexOf to string gives me error

[darrel]

This line:

response.write( mystring.LastIn dexOf("\").ToSt ring)

gives me this error:

mystring.LastIn dexOf" to type 'Long' is not valid.
Microsoft.Visua lBasic

why?

Re: LastIndexOf to string gives me error

I don't know about VB.NET, but in C# you'd need to escape the
backslash, like this:
>
myString.LastIn dexOf("\\")

*sigh*. USER ERROR!

Yea, I kept finding references to the \\ in C#, but you don't have to do
that in VB since it's not an escape character.

But staring at my code a bit longer...it was an open-quote error. Just a
syntax goof on my part.

Oddly, the syntax goof sill made for a perfectly valid line of code in
Visual Studio, so I wasn't getting any syntax errors in my IDE.
