I would like to know how to put text over 2 (or several) lines in a messageBox
I tried MessageBox.Show ("Text-1" + "\\r\\n" + "text-2"); but that doesn't work

Why the double backslash?
"\r\n" should work, but a better way would be to use Environment.New Line. -
When you say "\\r\\n" , it should print "\" instead of "\\". so they are treated as 4 characters not the two.
as said, Environment.New Line is the best option to cope with this.Comment

Yes, the problem is your double backslashes.
A single backslash and the following character is an escape sequence. So when you do "\\r" what you are literally doing is escaping the second backslash, so the literal string result is: "\r" What you should be doing is "\r" which is interpreted as a carriage return.
However, I also agree with everyone else. Environment.New Line is a handy way to avoid escape sequences.Comment
