Did you set the textbox to multiline?

Solution 1

Make sure the "Multiline" property of the textbox is set to true, and do something like:

C#

textbox1.Text = yourString.Replace(" ", "\n")

(The \n may need to be \r\n, I don't remember how TextBox handles it.)

Solution 2

Assuming that you have set the multiline property of the Textbox to true.

VB

Textbox1.Text = "This is a " & Environment.Newline & "Test to see if it works"
