how do i put carriage returns in a string?

[joeybagadonutz]

Hi, i cant figure out how to put a simple carriage return or new line in a string, what am i doing wrong? the below comes out all on the same line. thanks.

 

 

Dim sbody As New StringBuilder

 

For i = 0 To ds.Tables("includes").Rows.Count.ToString - 1

sbody.Append(ds.Tables("includes").Rows(i).Item("description") & vbCrLf)

 

Next

lblincludes.Text = sbody.ToString

ControlChars.NewLine

[joeybagadonutz]

ControlChars.NewLine

 

okay, i tried this:

 

Dim sbody As New StringBuilder

 

For i = 0 To ds.Tables("includes").Rows.Count.ToString - 1

sbody.Append(ds.Tables("includes").Rows(i).Item("description") & ControlChars.NewLine)

 

 

Next

lblincludes.Text = sbody.ToString

 

Still no carriage returns. Am I missing something?

Try:

sbody.Append(ds.Tables("includes").Rows(i).Item("description"))

sbody.Append(System.Environment.NewLine)

:)

Try:

sbody.Append(ds.Tables("includes").Rows(i).Item("description"))

sbody.Append(System.Environment.NewLine)

Hi, unfortunately I tried the system.environment.newline as well and it doesnt work either. do you think it might have somthing to do with the settings for the label im using to output it maybe?

I think the using chr(10) will help something like

 

Dim xx As String = "HELLO" & chr(10) & "WORLD"

Ok try this, I am thinking that whatever you are appending to you are not leaving a space inbetween the text and vbcrlf so is see the vbcrlf as part oif the text instead of the newline

 

sbody.Append(ds.Tables("includes").Rows(i).Item("description") & " " & vbCrLf)

 

This I am just guessing but who knows

Hmm:

Try assigning directly to the label... maybe it's a problem there.

lblIncludes.Text = "Hi!" & System.Environment.NewLine & "Hi!"

(do you see Hi! on two lines?)

I don't think there's a Multiline property on a label.

Is your label big enough so that you see your text on more than one line?

HOw do you expect this to work???

For i = 0 To ds.Tables("includes").Rows.Count.ToString - 1

 

Why would you convert the count to strng?

 

The first thing you need to do is place Option Strict at the top of every code page.
