Asterisk after String Delcaration????

[Excel Monkey]

I just came across some string variable declarations that I have not seen
before and was wondering if someone could explain what they mean. I have
never seen the asterisk used before like this. Is this a VBA thing? Lastly
does it translate into VB.Net?

Dim strBuffer()As String * 1

and then within a
Private Type udtWIN32_FIND_DATA
cFileName As String * 260
cAlternat As String * 14
End Type

Thanks

Hi Rick
Just to illuminate this further, can you see where such a construct would be
used? It is so rare to see in my experience.

Thanks
