I created a Child and Parent list by creating a list from Host..Lists and then creating another with the original one set as the parent.

Now when I run select * from vw_Lists on the child list the results contain a column ParentKey with the value "testparent.thisvalue".  This Key has been generated by the SQL function GetListParentKey(ParentID, ListName, N'ParentKey', 0) which is called inside that view.

Suppose now I want to get my child list values in code.  I call
Dim LC As New ListController
Dim ParentEntry As ListEntryInfo = LC.GetListEntryInfo("ParentList", "ListValue")
Dim EntryCollection As ListEntryInfoCollection = LC.GetListEntryInfoCollection("ChildList", ParentEntry.Key)

The problem I now encounter is that I don't get any results from the last line.  This is because ParentEntry.Key has a value of "testparent:thisvalue"  (Note the semicolon) and ParentEntry.ParentKey is blank
This semicolon comes from the code in DotNetNuke.Common.Lists.ListEntryInfo for Key property.

I've tried this in 4.9.4 and 5.1.1 .  I've raised a bug at http://support.dotnetnuke.com/issue/ViewIssue.aspx?ID=10456&PROJID=23 but was wandering if anyone knew if I was doing something wrong with the way I'm calling the functions.

You are not quite using the API correctly

Instead of

Dim LC As New ListController
Dim ParentEntry As ListEntryInfo = LC.GetListEntryInfo("ParentList", "ListValue")
Dim EntryCollection As ListEntryInfoCollection = LC.GetListEntryInfoCollection("ChildList", ParentEntry.Key)

You should use

Dim LC As New ListController
Dim ParentList As ListInfo = LC.GetListInfo("ParentList", "ListValue", PortalId)
Dim EntryCollection As ListEntryInfoCollection = LC.GetListEntryInfoCollection("ChildList", ParentList .ParentKey)

This is the logic used in the List Editor itself.  see DesktopModules\Admin\Lists\ListEntries.ascx.vb
