Add separation line between concatenated strings in VB.net

Question

I am trying to combine the output of various functions into a text box, but it all happens on the same biiig line. How to insert break lines between variables? I have something like this:

Me.TextBox.text = output1 + output2

And I would like to have something like this:

Me.TextBox.text = output1 + ENTER + output2

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Environment.NewLinea read-only variable is what you want to use. There also vbCrLf, but it is for obsolete purposes and is independent of the environment.

Try the following:

Me.TextBox.Text = output1 + Environment.NewLine + output2

Answer 2

Me.TextBox.text = output1 & Environment.NewLine & output2

Also use vb.net for concat strings, + - deprecated support

Answer 3

Environment.NewLine is usually the preferred method. It will result in a carriage return and line for Windows systems and a linear channel for Unix systems only ...

Also note that you can use vbCrLf from the Microsoft.VisualBasic namespace, which will always return a carriage return and a line together.
