Tostring() display problems

[razor24]

I have an object whos Tostring() method returns 4 values that have a small graphic box after each value when displayed. I'm assuming this is the newline special character but I'm trying to remove/replace them and display the string as one sentence. How can I replace the graphic box or remove it? I can't find the special sequence for newline or I'm totally off on what is make those boxes............thanks

maybe try and use the stringbuilder function to append your strings together, without the newlines in them? Not sure if this will help, but it should. The weevil of doooooooooom

Well the Tostring() method returns a single string..It looks like this:
value1[small graphic of a box] value2[small graphic of a box]value3 [small graphic of a box] etc..

It's like displaying the ascii sybol for a newline or something

thanks for the response....
Im still racking the brain on this..

Well its confirmed now, the Replace method of the string class wont replace escape sequences. The debugger told me it was char 10 and the below code proves it...

VideoFormat = VideoMode.ToString();//string with newlines
//the lines below dont work
//VideoFormat.Replace((char)10,' ');
//VideoFormat.Replace('\x10',' ');
//VideoFormat.Replace('\xA',' ');//hex

foreach(char searchchar in VideoFormat)
if(searchchar != 10 )
RealFormat = RealFormat + searchchar;

I had to do this loop code to work around Replace not working...
what a pain in the butt lol........................

What class are you calling ToString() on?

ToString is usually inherited from the Object (parent of all objects) object. You can override it if the default implementation isn't doing what you want.
