The HostProtectionAttribute attribute applied to this type or member has the following Resources property value: UI. The HostProtectionAttribute does not affect desktop applications (which are typically started by double-clicking an icon, typing a command, or entering a URL in a browser). For more information, see the HostProtectionAttribute class or SQL Server Programming and Host Protection Attributes. |
The example changes the line terminator from its default value of "\r\n" or vbCrLf to "\r\n\r\n" or vbCrLf + vbCrLf. It then calls the WriteLine and WriteLine(String) methods to display output to the console.
Module Example Public Sub Main() Dim lines() As String = { "This is the first line.", _ "This is the second line." } ' Output the lines using the default newline sequence. Console.WriteLine("With the default new line characters:") Console.WriteLine() For Each line As String In lines Console.WriteLine(line) Next Console.WriteLine() ' Redefine the newline characters to double space. Console.Out.NewLine = vbCrLf + vbCrLf ' Output the lines using the new newline sequence. Console.WriteLine("With redefined new line characters:") Console.WriteLine() For Each line As String In lines Console.WriteLine(line) Next End Sub End Module ' The example displays the following output: ' With the default new line characters: ' ' This is the first line. ' This is the second line. ' ' With redefined new line characters: ' ' ' ' This is the first line. ' ' This is the second line.
