You mean inside a scripting component? They are the same as in .NET.
Either google for "VB.NET string" or inside a VB component type:
dim bla as string
bla.
and a list of methods will appear :)

hi vicente,

sorry I didn´t explain myself properly. I meant I wanted to know how to code a Grasshopper text tag component.

It's difficult. You'll need to override the clipping and drawing routines inside the GH_Component. What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

hi David,

I´m trying to visualize some text data on points of a brep that comes from a script.

It´s just a matter of making it faster (only one line of code) and not to have those points outputted from the script component (which I´d only use for that purpose) and then use a gh text tag.

I was just curious about it but if it´s so cumbersome I will do it the other way.
