I was wondering if there is an equivalent for ControlsChars.Tab. ControlChars is part of then Microsoft.VisualBasic namespace and its more for backward compatibility than anything else. I was thinking maybe the only alternative is to instantiate a new string object and specify how many spaces you want inserted but i'm not sure.



Thanks

There is nothing wrong with using the ControlChars class definition at all.  We use it all of the time.  This is not a deprecated class and will be in future releases of .NET.
