CRLF with VB?

When I read a field-Value containig Newlines and write it back to the notes Database (I do it using a profile Doc) the newlines dissapear…

Anyone who knows why?

since Gary Devendorf is no longer with Iris, who else could know this?

Here my Code Snipped from VB.Net

using Domino

…

dim profil as Notesdocument

profil = db.getprofiledocument(“myProfile”)

dim item as Notesitem

item = profil.getfirstitem(“myField”)

dim wert as String = item.values(0)

'the debugger shows, we do have chr(13) & chr(10)…

profil.replaceitemvalue(“myField”,wert)

profil.save(true, false)

after that when opening the db in Notes, the newlines have gone ;-(

in my Notes-application where I fill default values…no more Newlines…

very funny.

chr(0) terminates the string (seems .NET was implemented in C)

→ doc.replaceItemValue(“myField”, “juhu” & chr(0) & “jaja”)

leads us to “juhu”. Just “juhu”

I think you need to try just chr(10)

same effect ;-((

I now have a postopen event in my Notesdb to read & write the fields…but this really sucks!
