C.2. ControlChars Class

The Microsoft.VisualBasic namespace includes a ControlChars class with shared fields that can be used for device control and outputting special characters. Most of the shared fields also have equivalent Visual Basic intrinsic constants.

Field	Value	Intrinsic constant
Back	Chr(8)	vbBack
Cr	Chr(13)	vbCr
CrLf	Chr(13) & Chr(10)	vbCrLf
FormFeed	Chr(12)	vbFormFeed
Lf	Chr(10)	vbLf
NewLine	Chr(13) & Chr(10)	vbNewLine
NullChar	Chr(0)	vbNullChar
Quote	Chr(34)
Tab	Chr(9)	vbTab
VerticalTab	Chr(11)	vbVerticalTab
