The VBFixedString Attribute
The VBFixedString attribute can be applied to structure members of type String, to delimit the string length because by default string length is variable. Such delimitation is established in bytes instead of characters. This attribute is required in some API calls. The following is an example:
Public Structure Contact'Both fields are limited to 10 bytes size <VBFixedString(10)> Public LastName As String <VBFixedString(10)> Public Email As StringEnd Structure
Notice that the VBFixedString can be applied to fields but is not valid for properties.
