Char.IsSeparator Method (Char)

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Indicates whether the specified Unicode character is categorized as a separator character.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Shared Function IsSeparator ( _
    c As Char _
) As Boolean
public static bool IsSeparator(
    char c
)

Parameters

Return Value

Type: System.Boolean
true if c is a separator character; otherwise, false.

Remarks

The Unicode standard recognizes three subcategories of separators:

NoteNote:

The Unicode standard classifies the characters \u000A (LF), \u000C (FF), and \u000A (CR) as control characters (members of the UnicodeCategory.Control category), not as separator characters.

Examples

The following example lists the Char objects that are classified as separator characters.

Module Example
   Public Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock)
      For ctr As Integer = Convert.ToInt32(Char.MinValue) To Convert.ToInt32(Char.MaxValue)
         Dim ch As Char = ChrW(ctr)
         If Char.IsSeparator(ch) Then
            outputBlock.Text += String.Format("\u{0:X4} ({1})", AscW(ch), Char.GetUnicodeCategory(ch).ToString()) & vbCrLf
         End If
      Next
   End Sub
End Module
' The example displays the following output:
