Console.WriteLine Method (String)

 

Writes the specified string value, followed by the current line terminator, to the standard output stream.

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

<HostProtectionAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, UI := True)>
Public Shared Sub WriteLine (
	value As String
)

Parameters

value
Type: System.String

The value to write.

Exception Condition
IOException

An I/O error occurred.

If value is null, only the line terminator is written to the standard output stream.

For more information about the line terminator, see the Remarks section of the WriteLine() method.

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.
