VB.NET Write yields #ERROR 448#

Question

I have a bit of ported code. It was automatically converted from VB6 to VB.NET. Now when if finally compiles, it produces output files with some values replaced with literal #ERROR 448#.

I will eventually find out what's the problem, but I just wonder, if anyone knows what does this error mean. VB's Write function is used.

Answer 1

I guess it as simple as trying to write a variable set to Nothing makes #ERROR 448# written to the file. Strange that msdn is not telling you this.

Answer 2

You are tryng to WRITE a null value or other unacceptable value to a file. Earlier versions of BASIC just ignored the WRITE request. MSDN should be telling us about this.
