in Vb6 and c# how do I have multiple of a string

Question

Is there a single command that replicates a string into multiples of that string or character. Sql has replicate which can replicate a space for instance into many:

replicate(' ', 10000) -- will make 10k spaces.  

Is there a similiar command in vb6 and c#?

Answer 1

In C#:

string s = new string(' ', 10000);

In VB.NET:

Dim s = New String(" ", 10000)

In VB6:

s = String$(10000, " ")

Answer 2

To repeat an actual string, not just one character (code is the same for C# and VB.Net) :

//Repeat "asd" 100 times
String.Join("", Enumerable.Repeat("asd", 100).ToArray())
