    $ has no meaning in context of Right function. In ancient VB Right$ was a function in new VB it is Right but you can also use Right$ (for backward compatibility)

    Right$("hasan", 3) and Right("hasan", 3) are same in VB.NET

    It is merely a convention used to name String related functions.
