public:
 virtual void WriteLine(System::String ^ format, System::Object ^ arg0, System::Object ^ arg1);
public virtual void WriteLine (string format, object arg0, object arg1);
public virtual void WriteLine (string format, object? arg0, object? arg1);
abstract member WriteLine : string * obj * obj -> unit
override this.WriteLine : string * obj * obj -> unit
Public Overridable Sub WriteLine (format As String, arg0 As Object, arg1 As Object)

Parameters

format
String

A composite format string.

arg0
Object

The first object to format and write.

arg1
Object

The second object to format and write.

Exceptions

format is null.

An I/O error occurs.

format is not a valid composite format string.

-or-

The index of a format item is less than 0 (zero), or greater than or equal to the number of objects to be formatted (which, for this method overload, is two).

Remarks

This method uses composite formatting to convert the value of an object to its string representation and to embed that representation in a string. .NET provides extensive formatting support, which is described in greater detail in the following formatting topics:

The format parameter consists of zero or more runs of text intermixed with zero or more indexed placeholders, called format items, that correspond to an object in the parameter list of this method. The formatting process replaces each format item with the string representation of the value of the corresponding object.

The syntax of a format item is as follows:

{index[,length][:formatString]}

Elements in square brackets are optional. The following table describes each element. For more information about the composite formatting feature, including the syntax of a format item, see Composite Formatting.

Element Description
index The zero-based position in the parameter list of the object to be formatted. If the object specified by index is null, the format item is replaced by String.Empty. Because this overload has two objects in its parameter list, the value of index must always be 0 or 1. If there is no parameter in the index position, a FormatException is thrown.
,length The minimum number of characters in the string representation of the parameter. If positive, the parameter is right-aligned; if negative, it is left-aligned.
:formatString A standard or custom format string that is supported by the object to be formatted. Possible values for formatString are the same as the values supported by the object's ToString(string format) method. If formatString is not specified and the object to be formatted implements the IFormattable interface, null is passed as the value of the format parameter that is used as the IFormattable.ToString format string.

The leading and trailing brace characters, "{" and "}", are required. To specify a single literal brace character in format, specify two leading or trailing brace characters; that is, "{{" or "}}".

This method does not search the specified string for individual newline characters (hexadecimal 0x000a) and replace them with NewLine.

If a specified object is not referenced in the format string, it is ignored.

The line terminator is defined by the CoreNewLine field.

WriteLine(Char[], Int32, Int32)

Writes a subarray of characters to the text stream, followed by a line terminator.

public:
 virtual void WriteLine(cli::array <char> ^ buffer, int index, int count);
public virtual void WriteLine (char[] buffer, int index, int count);
abstract member WriteLine : char[] * int * int -> unit
override this.WriteLine : char[] * int * int -> unit
Public Overridable Sub WriteLine (buffer As Char(), index As Integer, count As Integer)

Parameters

buffer
Char[]

The character array from which data is read.

index
Int32

The character position in buffer at which to start reading data.

count
Int32

The maximum number of characters to write.

Exceptions

The buffer length minus index is less than count.

The buffer parameter is null.

index or count is negative.

An I/O error occurs.

Remarks

This method will write count characters of data into this TextWriter from the buffer character array starting at position index.

This overload is equivalent to calling the Write(Char[]) method followed by WriteLine for each character in buffer between index and (index + count).

The line terminator is defined by the CoreNewLine field.
