Hi Ytsheng,

According to your description, I'd like to move this thread to Visual Basic Language Forum for better support.
 
Thanks for your understanding.

Best regards,

Hi ytsheng,

Thanks for you post.

I have no idea about what 2010 means.

As far as I know, there is no VS2010 version article for this function. But you can use this function in VS2010 well.

If you mean office2010, there is a function has the same name which you can use it in VBA. For more information, please check this link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg264813.aspx

Hope this helps.

Hi ytsheng,

• CreateObject
• GetObject

'

still exist in the 2010 editions as I just checked in the Visual Basic 2010 Express Edition.

Please note what Intellisense is showing you too regarding COM objects.

You keep on asking the same sort of question such as

"What is the 2010 equivalent of...."

Just because you can not find any online documentation, does not mean they do not exist.

You have a similar question here.>>

Please assume that everything you can not find documentation for is very likely to be in ALL

of the 2010 versions ie;

• Visual Basic 2010 Express Edition ( as well as the other Express Editions )
• Visual Studio 2010 ( all versions )

Microsoft, as far as I know, have not removed any features in creating a later version of the .Net programming languages.

In addition to the to other helpful replies, you can always do a symbol search (via hotkey or menu). The object browser also shows what's available.
