I guess there are several ways to do so.

Two of them are: (Use RIGHT method)

    Dim s As String = "1111"
    Dim newstring1 As String = Strings.Right(s, s.Length - 1)

and: (Use substring method)

    Dim s As String = "1111"
    Dim newstring2 As String = s.Substring(1)

But make sure to check length of string to avoid getting ArgumentException.

Replace has a Count parameter, which says how many times to do the string replacement. So what you want is:

Replace(string, "1", "", 1, 1)

Look at the Count argument to the Replace() function.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bt3szac5(v=vs.80).aspx

Replace("11111", "1", "", , 1)

It allows you to limit the number of replacements.
