I always forget this so I'm saving it here
If you want to save a string and then use it in the replace box put a {} around it. Then you can refer to it using \1 or \2 (depending on how many curly brackets you put.
Ok, if you want more info you can check out the three part tutorial.

How do I configure the Visual Studio debugger to break when an exception is thrown?
http://windowsclient.net/blogs/faqs/archive/2006/05/26/how-do-i-configure-the-visual-studio-debugger-to-break-when-an-exception-is-thrown.aspx
In Visual Studio go to the Debug | Exceptions | Common Language Runtime Exceptions | System and select System.NullReferenceException.
In the When the exception is thrown group box, select Break into the debugger.
Run your scenario. When the exception is thrown, the debugger will stop and notify you with a dialog that says something like:
An exception of type "System.NullReferenceException" has been thrown.
[Break] [Continue]
Select [Break]. This will put you on the line of code that's causing the exception.
vb6.GetPath replacements

Vb6.FixedLengthString(2048) to Space(2048)
When we converted code from VB6 to .NET the following call was specified for a string that was a specific length
Dim astr as New VB6.FixedLengthString(2048)
In .NEt the replacement is
Dim aStr as String = New SpacE(2048)
This works just like the VB6. function call.
Dim astr as New VB6.FixedLengthString(2048)
In .NEt the replacement is
Dim aStr as String = New SpacE(2048)
This works just like the VB6. function call.
VB6.Format(tempstr, "mmm dd, yyyy") to CType(tempstr, Date).ToString("MMM dd, yyyy") in VB.NET 2005
VB6.Format(tempstr, "mmm dd,yyyy")
to
CType(tempstr, Date).ToString("MMM dd,yyyy")
The MMM gives you Jan as opposed to 01

Replace Format(Now, "yyyymmdd") with Date.Now.ToString("yyyymmdd") in VB.NET 2005
Previously in VB6 we were doing
Format(Now, "yyyymmdd")
in .NET do the following Date.Now.ToString("yyyymmdd")
Format(Now, "yyyymmdd")
in .NET do the following Date.Now.ToString("yyyymmdd")

Replacement for VB6.Format(Number, "00") in VB 2005
When I converted the project from VB6 to VB.NET, either the Converter or someone on our team used the Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatability library for the following code:
VB6.Format(anumber, "00")
the replacement in .NET 2005 is:
CStr(anumber).PadLeft(2, "0")
VB6.Format(anumber, "00")
the replacement in .NET 2005 is:
CStr(anumber).PadLeft(2, "0")
