Question

In VB6, there was a function that moves the print position along to the next tabstop, like so:

Print #1, "Total run time: "; _
                Fix(tmpTick / 60000) & " min and " _
                & Fix((Abs((tmpTick / 60000) - Fix(tmpTick / 60000)) _
                * 60)) & " Sec"

I have rewritten this VB6 into VB.NET, but with the semicolon still intact:

 mainoutputwriter.WriteLine("Total run time: "; _
                Fix(tmpTick / 60000) & " min and " _
                & Fix((Abs((tmpTick / 60000) - Fix(tmpTick / 60000)) _
                * 60)) & " Sec")

What do I replace the semicolon with to move the print position?

Thanks

The ControlChars class is probably what you want to use.

Try replacing the semicolon with ControlChars.Tab.
