How to Indicate new line in TextBox

[the_one2003a]

Hi

I am new to vb .net

I created a textbox and I want to represent every string of data in a new line but I don't know how.

In many languages (c,c++,php,..) '\n' would indicate the new line in a string but how can I do this in vb .net

Thanks alot

There are a few ways of adding a new line to a String but the preferred way in .NET is to use ControlChars.NewLine, e.g.:

Dim multiLineString As String = "Line 1" & ControlChars.NewLine & "Line 2"

Or you could use an old fashion ... hahaha

Dim multiLineString As String = "Line 1" & Chr(10) & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & "Line 2"

but only within messageBox class as in textbox it adds some strange sign/character beween lines

Kind regards

Hey, sorry i forgot to tell you about vbCrLf (VB constant)

Dim multiLineString AsString = "Line 1" & vbCrLf & "Line 2"
