in classic VB defines a fixed length string.

This has probably gone missing in .Net

The alternative is to dim the variable as string then make sure it's
long enough before using it.

Dim strVolName As String
Dim strFileSysName As String
strVolName = String$(255, Chr$(0))
strFileSysName = String$(255, Chr$(0))

also works in classic VB.

Sorry, that should have more properly been:

strVolName = String$(cMaxPath, Chr$(0))
strFileSysName = String$(cMaxPath, Chr$(0))
