Add a break line between concatenated strings in V

Question

I am trying to concatenate the output of various functions into a textbox, but it all comes up in one biiig line. How can I insert break lines in between the 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

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

Also use & to concat strings vb.net, + is legacy support

Answer 2

Environment.NewLine is usually the preferred method. It'll produce a carriage return & line feed for Windows systems and a line feed only for Unix systems...

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

Answer 3

The Environment.NewLine read-only variable is what you want to use. There's also vbCrLf, but this is for legacy purposes and not environment-dependant.

Try the following:

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