If you specifically mean adding a line of text to a multiline TextBox then you can make use of its Lines property, which gets or sets the lines of text as a String array. You can get an array from the control, convert the array to a List(Of String) from it so that you can modify it, Insert items into that List as required, convert it back to an array and then assign that array back to the Lines property. Note that the List(Of String) class has a constructor that will accept a String array as its contents and it also has a ToArray method for the conversion back.
