Method Conversion from VB6 to VB.Net 2005

In vb6, I had a program that had the following code:
StrPtr
LenB
Picture1.Print
Picture1.CurrentX (& Y)

They don't apparently transfer over in vb.net 2005 - - -

I hate to admit it, but I found this code somewhere on line and I have never
used these properties/methods again for anything else and don't know what to
look for in place of them...

Can someone help me find the answers please?

Both are not required any more. For which purpose did you use the method?
Picture1.Print
Picture1.CurrentX (& Y)

Handle the picturebox' 'Paint' event and use 'e.Graphics.DrawString'
instead.
 
Yes.

I had stuff like that.

Embarrassing to ask, isn't it.

Do yourself a favor - re-write the app using updated principles.

Yes - look at the upgraded code to give yourself an idea in certain cases
BUT don't re-use the upgraded code ad hoc.
