Answer 1

I guess you did not try String.Split ?

Answer 2

use split(). you call it on the string instance, passing in a char array of the delimiters, and it returns to you an array of strings. grab the last element to get your "SearchTrainerData.aspx."

Answer 3

The split function takes characters, which VB.net represents by appending a 'c' to the end of a one-character string.

dim sentence = "http://localhost:3282/ISS/Training/SearchTrainerData.aspx"
dim words = sentence.Split("/"c)
dim lastWord = words(words.length - 1)

Answer 4

I guess what you are actually looking for is the System.Uri Class. Which makes all string splitting that you are looking for obsolete.

MSDN Documentation for System.Uri

Uri url = new Uri ("http://...");
String[] parts = url.Segments;

Answer 5

Your "string" is obviously a URL which means you should use the System.Uri class.

Dim url As Uri = New Uri("http://localhost:3282/ISS/Training/SearchTrainerData.aspx")
Dim segments As String() = url.Segments
Dim str As String = segments(segments.Length - 1)

This will also allow you to get all kinds of other interesting information about your "string" without resorting to manual (and error-prone) parsing.
