Hi All,

I have some APSX code that I am trying to modify for a programmer that is out on medicaly leave. I am not an ASP guy, but rather C++

So what I want to do is delare a string, check the first 4 characters and if it is 'http' do something, if not, something else.

Here is what I have:

string strYT= Left(objFile, 4);

if (strYT=="http") {
    pnlYT.Visible = true;
    pnlIntro.Visible = false;
    pnlVideo.Visible = false;
}
else {
    pnlYT.Visible = false;
    pnlIntro.Visible = false;
    pnlVideo.Visible = true;

PrintText(objFile);
}

But I get errors like:

Compiler Error Message: CS0103: The name 'Left' does not exist in the class or namespace 'ASP.zen_aspx'

My googling turns up many examples of doing it just like this.....
