How Do I Put An End Of Line Character In A TextBox

[Christopher Lusardi]

How would I put an end of line character in the second line below?

Textbox1.Text = "Hello "
Textbox1.Text =
Textbox1.Text = "World"

Thanks,
Chris Lusardi

textbox1.text "Hello " & vbcrlf & vbcrlf & "World"

I didn't know vbcrlf existed. At the top of some of my programs I have
dim crlf as string = Chr(13) & Chr(10)
guess I don't need that but now I have to type vbcrlf instead of crlf.

I use Ahmed's example in my code as well.

No, you don't need it. Note that VB.NET has a 'ControlChars.NewLine'
constant too, and 'Environment.NewLine' will return the system's new line
character.

Herfried,

I once asked you to make a testset and you told than that you had not the
time to type that.

Why are you advicing that long code, while there is that simple vbcrlf.

In C# I find the 'ControlChars.NewLine' a very good alternative for the
literal. But VB has a better solution for that.

Is controlchars.newline available in both VB and C#? If so perhaps
Herfried is promoting using something that would be the same from
language to language. VB also has vbNewLine. Frankly everything is
getting long. I almost stuck with dimming my own, crlf, as it is 4
chars instead of vbCrLf's 6. And actually thought about using nl for
newline but it wasn't quite as obvious when reading the code. Anyway I
went with vbCrLf as it doesn't need a dim and I'll get used to it.

No, 'ControlChars.NewLine' is part of "Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll".

Well, you could import the 'ControlChars' type and then use 'NewLine' and
'CrLf' throughout your code, without any bad performance implications.

Well, first, we have to distinguish between methods/properties to determine
the system's new line character and on getting a system-independent new line
character sequence. The first can be done using 'Environment.NewLine' in
both VB.NET and C#. For the latter there are different ways in VB.NET and
C#. In C# typically new line character sequences are embedded as escape
codes inside string literals:

\\\
string s = "Hello\r\nWorld"
///

The equivalent code in VB.NET would be

\\\
Dim s As String = "Hello" & ControlChars.CrLf & "World"
///

or alternatively

\\\
Dim s As String = "Hello" & vbCrLf & "World"
///

'vbNewLine' and 'ControlChars.NewLine' both are constants which have the
same value as 'vbCrLf'. IIRC 'vbNewLine' has been introduced in VBA once to
support /different/ newline character sequences in VBA on Windows and on the
Mac.

Personally I generally prefer 'ControlChars.NewLine' or 'vbNewLine' over
'ControlChars.CrLf' and 'vbCrLf' because its name is semantically more
meaningful and I do not care about the value of the constant too much.
However, if the exact character codes are important, then I prefer 'CrLf'
and 'vbCrLf'.
