TextWriter.NewLine Property

Gets or sets the line terminator string used by the current TextWriter.

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

Syntax

public virtual string NewLine { get; }

Property Value

The line terminator string for the current TextWriter.

Remarks

The default line terminator string is a carriage return followed by a line feed ("\r\n").

The line terminator string is written to the text stream whenever one of the WriteLine methods is called. In order for text written by the TextWriter to be readable by a TextReader, only "\n" or "\r\n" should be used as terminator strings. If NewLine is set to a null reference, the default newline character is used instead.

Version Information

Available in the .NET Micro Framework versions 3.0, 4.0, and 4.1.
