QuestionLeft$, Right$, Trim$, "$" Advice. Pin

I have been searching here in the VB forum for some clarification which I was unable to get. So if I have missed something that has already been posted please point me in the proper direction.

I am upgrading some software from VB6 to VB2008. According to the free "Upgrading Microsoft Visual Baisc 6.0 to Microsoft Visual Basic .NET" book states in chapter 11 page 241 that for Left, Right, Trim, Mid, etc can return a NULL in the VB6 environment. However, in .Net this is not allowed for a string to contain a Null value. One of the suggestions the book and migration tool suggests is to use the "$" after the function. Example: Left$, Right$, you get the point.

My question to all you out there is should I be doing what the book suggests to add the "$" to these functions prior to running the migration wizard that comes in VB2008? Are null strings still not allowed in VB2008 or future .net frameworks? Or is adding the "$" a waste of time?

Can someone please give me some clarification if I am on the right path by updating these functions prior to the migration?

Thanks in advance!
