I have seen a few members use a suffix character to define datatypes. I try to get members to avoid legacy code but this goes back way beyond Microsoft and Visual Basic. This is BASIC. I can't personally see any appeal in using a single suffix. Each to there own though :)

It's more or less a habit, it almost doesn't look complete without the suffix, although I am slowly transitioning.

Also, the concept makes for a pretty cool, uhh, hack sequence?

Hey man, any ideas how can I animate a current line?

like:

1st it'll look like:
Loading -
then
Loading /
then
Loading |
then
Loading \
then loop again until i call exit loop

If you close the line with "\r" then it will overwrite the string, like this:

Code

for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
  {
    Console.Write(i.ToString() + "\r");
    System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(100);
  }

  Console.Read();

Sorry if this is a little late, this is old code, so you may want to optimize it using the methods posted in this thread. I also liked the \r over write that Eternal five posted, but do with it what you may.

Code

Do

    Console.WriteLine("Loading... [/]")
    Threading.Thread.Sleep(400)
    Console.Clear()

    Console.WriteLine("Loading... [-]")
    Threading.Thread.Sleep(400)
    Console.Clear()

    Console.WriteLine("Loading... [\]")
    Threading.Thread.Sleep(400)
    Console.Clear()

    Console.WriteLine("Loading... [|]")
    Threading.Thread.Sleep(400)
    Console.Clear()

    Console.WriteLine("Loading... [/]")
    Threading.Thread.Sleep(400)
    Console.Clear()

    Console.WriteLine("Loading... [-]")
    Threading.Thread.Sleep(400)
    Console.Clear()

    Console.WriteLine("Loading... [\]")
    Threading.Thread.Sleep(400)
    Console.Clear()

    Console.WriteLine("Loading... [|]")
    Threading.Thread.Sleep(400)
    Console.Clear()
  Loop
