In VB, you can use the Substring method to remove the last character of a string. The specific steps are as follows:

  1. Use the Substring method to extract the first n-1 characters of a string, where n is the length of the string.
  2. Assign the trimmed string to the original string.

Here is a sample code:

Dim str As String = "Hello World"
str = str.Substring(0, str.Length - 1)
Console.WriteLine(str)

In the given example, the last character of the original string “Hello World” is “d”. By using the Substring method to extract the first 10 characters (since the string has a length of 11), we obtain “Hello Worl”, which consists of the first 9 characters. This extracted string is then assigned back to the original string, resulting in the output of “Hello Worl”.
