In C#, it's Environment.NewLine

In VB, you can use the vbCrLf constant. But Environment.NewLine is better, as it comes from the .net framework that everyone uses, and not the VisualBasic compatability library.

Hi all,
I was not able to use Environment.Newline. On the other hand, vbCrLf did what I need to do; however, I would like to learn how to use Environment.Newline,
So if this is my text
dim mymessage as string
mymessage = " Dear User "
mymessage += " I am sending you this email "
mymessage += " to show you how to use a carraige return. "
mymessage += " Thanks for the folks at tek-tips.com "
mymessage += " Regards "
mymessage += " Ehx"

When I send this in the body, it become all in one line. so How can I implement (Environment.NewLine ) above
thanks for your help
Ehx

mymessage = " Dear User "

Just concatenate it to your string like you would any variable.

When building up a string like this, it's usually better to use a StringBuilder object (from the System.Text namespace). It performs better because there's less creation/destruction of objects going on.

C# code would be:

using System;
using System.Text;

//class defintion, blah blah blah

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

sb.Append(" Dear User ");
sb.Append(Environment.NewLine);
sb.Append("  I am sending you this email ");
sb.Append(Environment.NewLine);
sb.Append(" to show you how to use a carraige return. ");
sb.Append(Environment.NewLine);
sb.Append(" Thanks for the folks at tek-tips.com ");
sb.Append(Environment.NewLine);
sb.Append(" Regards ");
sb.Append(Environment.NewLine);
sb.Append(" Ehx");
sb.Append(Environment.NewLine);

return sb.ToString();
