I'm trying to add a newline character to a string that I want to print out to a status box in my ActiveX control. The status box is a multiline TextBox. I've tried adding "\r\n" to the string, I've tried add System.Environment.NewLine to the string, but nothing seems to work. Not sure what else to trying. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

What I have tried:

I've tried adding "\r\n" to the string. I've also tried System.Environment.NewLine to the string, but neither works.

Does the target element support new lines?

Not sure. How do I find that out? It's a multiline textbox on an ActiveX control, built using Visual Studio on Windows.

Hello,

As mentioned in your question, it's multiline text box, you can try something like below.

multilinetextbox.Text = BitConverter.ToString("Code \r\n Project");

--RA

That didn't work. My debugger was saying that "Code \r\n Project" isn't a Byte[]
