You know how we have an object called a MessageBox? I've been trying to make a new line. For example when you press enter in a notepad program, the blinking line goes down one?

Here's what I'm trying to do (in plain English):

1. This is an example of what I'm asking

2. This is an example
of what I'm asking

You see how example 1. is all in one line. How can I break up the line to put a certain portion of the sentence one line below? Like in example 2?

Solution 1

As Kornfeld mentioned, all you need is a "\n" in your output.

Solution 2

Just add Newline in the middle ;)

C#

string.Format("{0}\n{1}",textInFirstLine, textInSecondLine);

or

C#

string.Format("{0}{1}{2}",textInFirstLine, Enviroment.NewLine, textInSecondLine);

Cheers!
