Console::WriteLine Method ()

 

Writes the current line terminator to the standard output stream.

Namespace:   System
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

public:
[HostProtectionAttribute(SecurityAction::LinkDemand, UI = true)]
static void WriteLine()

Exception Condition
IOException

An I/O error occurred.

The default line terminator is a string whose value is a carriage return followed by a line feed ("\r\n" in C#, or vbCrLf in Visual Basic). You can change the line terminator by setting the TextWriter::NewLine property of the Out property to another string. The example provides an illustration.

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.

using namespace System;

void main()
{
   array<String^>^ lines = gcnew array<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 (String^ line in lines)
      Console::WriteLine(line);

   Console::WriteLine();

   // Redefine the newline characters to double space.
   Console::Out->NewLine = "\r\n\r\n";
   // Output the lines using the new newline sequence.
   Console::WriteLine("With redefined new line characters:");
   Console::WriteLine();
   for each (String^ line in lines)
      Console::WriteLine(line);
}
// 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.
