New line in string, \n not working

[Assimalyst]

Hi,

I have the following string written in c#:

string strAddressAll = strAddress1 + ",\n" + strAddress2 + ",\n" +
strAddress3 + ",\n" + strCountry + ",\n" + strPostcode;

But it all appears on one line?

I've also tried adding in :

+ System.Environm ent.NewLine

but that didn't work either??

Any ideas what's going on?

Thanks

Where do you display the text? Maybe control is not multiline or smth like
this.
Or complete CRLF combination will do?

FYI CRLF ( carriage return line feed ) - \r\n :)

RE: New line in string, \n not working

What are you using to display the string strAddressAll?

If you are using a TextBox, be sure that you have set it’s MultiLine
property to true.

I'm using it to set a Label.Text, it dosen't seem to have a multiline
option.

Thanks

Hi,

Nop, a Label does not have it, depending of the sizse of the label it does
include the new line.

You could either use more than one label (not good) or try to justify the
text with whitespaces (better idea)

cheers,
