CARRIAGE RETURN - LINE FEED

How do you put a carriage return and/or a linefeed in a
string. I am actually putting several line of text in a
Label but I need some blank lines in the middle of the
label.
Thanks for any help.

If you are using VB, use vbLF.

Dim mystring as String = "this is my string" + vbLF

Hi,

In VB it would be something like:

MyString & vbCrLf

I am using C#. I have tried using \r\n ("blah \r\n blah")
but it did not insert a blank line when I ran the program.
Thanks.

Is Multiline set to true?

Look at using Environment.NewLine

Example: string strText = "This is a " + Environment.NewLine +
Environment.NewLine + "test";

Ok, I have slept and the magic fairy has made my code work
now. For some reason, today all is working well. Don't I
wish that would happen every morning. Anyway, "blah \n\r
blah" works like a charm (using C# .NETCF). Thanks to all
that helped me out.

It's supposed to be \r\n
To help remember it imagine how the typewriter operates (right, like people
actually use them <g>)
When you are going to the next line it's Carriage Return (\r) followed by
New Line (\n), not the other way around
