ControlChars.Lf, ControlChars.Cr, ControlChars.CrLf

[kerberoz]

whats the equivalent following ControlChars.Lf, ControlChars.Cr,
ControlChars.CrLf code in vb.net

 

[Cor]

LF 10 CR 13

chr(13)
chr(10)

But you can use the controlchar. also.

whats the equivalent following ControlChars.Lf, ControlChars.Cr,
ControlChars.CrLf code in vb.net

I hope this helps?

Equivalent? I don't know what you mean, but there is also
Microsoft.VisualBasic.Constants.vbCrLf
Microsoft.VisualBasic.Constants.vbCr
Microsoft.VisualBasic.Constants.vbLf

not to forget
Microsoft.VisualBasic.ControlChars.NewLine
System.Environment.NewLine

kerberoz,
As the others have mentioned the equivalents of:

ControlChars.Lf, ControlChars.Cr,
ControlChars.CrLf

are ControlChars.Lf, ControlChars.Cr,ControlChars.CrLf

Can you give a little more detail on what you are asking?

Hope this helps
Jay

ok here is what i mean..... ControlChars needs an imports to the
Microsoft.VisualBasic namespace... what i need to know is what the
equivalent of this in pure .NET symantics?

TIA guys

Kerberoz,
What exactly do you mean by "pure .NET semantics"???

VB.NET is a .NET language, Microsoft.VisualBasic is VB.NET's helper
functions, ergo Microsoft.VisualBasic is .NET.

Yes there are things in Microsoft.VisualBasic that I try to avoid in favor
of the Framework itself, however there are things in Microsoft.VisualBasic
that significantly simplify your code. Making blanket statements to avoid
Microsoft.VisualBasic doesn't particularly make sense to me.

Of course I will strongly recommend you avoid
Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility, as it is there for upgraded VB6
projects. Over the course of time, I slowly Refactor
(http://www.refactoring.com) Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility out of the
picture of my projects I upgraded from VB6.

If you use Object Browser to see the definition of ControlChars.Cr you will
see that it is defined as:

Public Shared Const Cr As Char = ChrW(13)

In the above context ChrW is a constant function, evaluated at compile time.

Hope this helps
Jay

Hi Kerberoz,

Just as a reading comment to the text of Jay B.

What Jay B is writing is all true, but when you read it, you can mix up
Microsoft.VisualBasic with Microsoft.VisualBasic compatibility namespace.

That are 2 different things.

I hope this helps?

The quoting beneath is very much changed, so if you want to have the real
text look above this.

There are no direct equivalents. There is 'Environment.NewLine', there
is the 'Convert.ToChar' method. And there is 'Chr' and 'ChrW', but that
are both part of Visual Basic .NET too. I /would/ recommend to use the
constants provided in 'ControlChars'.
