hi,

i need to diplay the text in multiplelines in messagebox.Help me with this.

thanks

Environment.NewLine or \r\n will work :-) Example:

MessageBox.Show("hello\r\nMy name is bob");

even though both solutions are valid (as always, replies are welcomed!) it is best to use the language's syntax instead of importing another language into the language you are using for many reasons, including this.

So which ever language you are using, use its functions/syntax than trying to import from another one....

Hi

You can introduce line breaks within your message box using the line feed or carriage return characters as so:

Is this what you meant?

 

HTH

Edit: Sorry for the cross post.

Does this command work in c#.

I included microsoft.visualbasic but it doesnt work.

venp

the initial response given works

sorry for the confusion.

I meant to ask David Jeavons about this command

MessageBox.Show("Line 1" & ControlChars.Lf & "Line 2" & ControlChars.Lf & "Line 3")

whether the above cmd works in c#.

ahmedilyas'c cmd is working. thanks

well that is pretty much equiv to \r\n (line field) - \r\n is a carriage return I believe.

I'm not getting ControlChars in my intellisense..what i have to include for reference other than microsoft.visualbasic

HI

If you are using C# then you should go with the initial response given by ahmedilyas. I certainly wouldn't want to import the Microsoft.VisualBasic Namespace into a C# project unless I had a really good reason too, and this isn't one of them.

Okay then, I'll proceed with ahmedilyas cmd.Thanks for me helping with this.

Thanks
