I'm not sure what you mean be standard? If your talking about a formal
standards body - then no, there isn't. But traditionally on *nix a
newline is a single lf (I know I said CR earlier). It's one of those
issues that tends to bite people when writing cross platform code. *nix
progams will almost always assume that a line terminates on LF, windows/dos
expects a cr/lf.
I'm really not sure what the argument is about. The fact is that it
unless you have specific reasons, I find that it is better not to
hardcode your line termination to a specific value - ControlChars.CrLf -
but to use System.Environment.NewLine. That way, I don't have to worry
about the difference because it will just do the right thing based on
the underlying platform. Look in the VB6 docs for vbNewLine - it is
essentially the same thing.
