Special String Characters

[Ralphzehunter]

This is probably a really simple question, but what do "/r" and "/n" togethor ("/r/n") signify in C#? If you know what they mean, do you know what the equivalent of that string is in vb.net?
I am actually a vb.net programmer, and trying to learn how to use sockets. As there arent exactly many tutorials in vb.net, I decided to look up tutorials in C#. I can translate it all, except for this one piece. So could you help me?

The equivalent in VB.NET is VbCrLf which is a carriage return line feed. The /r is a carriage return and the /n is a line feed I believe, though not sure...

"/r/n" will be interpreted as 4 bytes
"\r\n" will be interpreted as 2 bytes
