We have introduced the basic concept of functions in the previous lesson. In this lesson, we will examine the built-in functions in VB2010. As a matter of facts, we have introduced three built-in functions in Lesson 8, they are the Len function, the Left function, and the Right Function. In this lesson, you will learn additional built-in functions.<\/p>\n
