title: Can I replace vbLf and Chr() with constants?
body: <p>We're trying to trim the number of assemblies we load during startup, and one of the easiest to cut is the Microsoft.VisualBasic assembly. There are alot of things in it that were easy enough to replace, like Left(), but I'm struggling to find a good way to replace vbLf and Chr(). vbCrLf was easy enough to replace with Environment.NewLine, but we have a few spots where we generate content for a Unix-based system that is expecting line feeds only.</p>
