C# line return character

[Jason Huang]

Hi,

In my C# windows form project, how to use the line return character in a
string so the string will go to a new line?
Thanks for help.

Doesn't C# treat the "\r\n" as an alias for Environment.NewLine?
Wouldn't the code be more readable as:

string s = "First line\r\nSecondLine";

Just wondering,

It does in a Windows Environment, but not necessarily.

Environment.NewLine ends up as "\r\n" on Windows, but won't on other
platforms.

Whether you should use "\r\n" or Environment.NewLine depends on the
context - it's not always a straightforward choice.
