I want to write and read text from files. However, doing that is much harder when I can't do a simple thin as writing a NewLine character.

Or perhaps I am missing something?

Hi Moskus,

In Visual Basic, just type "Constants.vbCrLf".

You can also add the line "Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic.Constants" to the top of your code file...and then just use the shorter "vbCrLf".

I'll see if we can update the project files in the NETMF 4.2 SDK to automatically infer the Constants include.

Under constants! I was looking for Controlchars, and finally just searched the .NET Micro Framework for "NewLine". Nothing!
I figured vbCrLf was long gone...


Thank you! I was even starting to look for the old Chr(10) + Chr(13) option...

I normally use \r\n escape characters

Yes, but that just works for C#...

Sorry - I didn't notice this was in the Visual Basic section. I always use the "New Posts" link.
