Question

I am trying to write out to console a percentage of data loading. I tried to use C# syntax which would be Console.Write("\rPercentage: " + nCurrent + "/" + nTotal; however in VB I get the actual character ‘r’ being displayed in my string. Is there a special code I need to insert in order to update my cursor to the beginning of the line so that I may reuse that line?

Thanks

Use vbCr to generate a carriage return character:

        Console.Write("{0}Percentage: {1}/{2}", vbCr, nCurrent, nTotal)
