The code is definitely not obsolete. In VB, you need the constants within
the 'Constants' and 'ControlChars' classes to compensate for VB not allowing
the C-style control characters. Just because one specific one has an
equivalent in the .NET Framework doesn't make it obsolete.
What about vbTab? (and all the others in 'Constants' and 'ControlChars',
except for vbCrLf?).

As others have pointed out, it stands for Visual Basic, meaning that it was
a built in constant as part of the Visual Basic 6.0 (or ealier) programming

That code in VB .NET, however, is obsolete.

To perform the same task in .NET, you should use:

Environment.Newline

Hi,
In some code I am studying, there is somthing that clearly inserts a
carriage return and line feed. The code reads "vbCrLf" What is the 'vb'
part?

Thanks!
