How to add a newline with in a string being set to a label [C# 2005]

[Shaitan00]

I am trying to find a way to introduce a NEW LINE into a string I am setting for the text of a label, specifically I want the label to span 3 lines... I've tried using "\n" but it doesn't seem to work at all, this is my current code...

 

lblAddress.Text = province.ToString() + " - " + city.ToString() + " - " + address.ToString() + " - " + postal_code.ToString();

[/Code]

 

What I want to do is set the ADDRESS on another line and the POSTAL_CODE on another line so that the text of the label spans 3 lines, something like the following:

Ontario Toronto

123 Mission Street

D4C 4D4

 

[Code]
lblAddress.Text = province.ToString() + " - " + city.ToString() + "\n" + address.ToString() + "\n" + postal_code.ToString();
[/Code]

 

But this doesn't work ... any clue why?

This is to be used with an ASP:LABEL in ASP.NET 2.0 (not a form label) - incase this makes any difference...

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks,

If you are doing this in html then you will need to use a

tag for a new line.

For Windows you can use System.Environment.NewLine.

 

Also for labels you'll need to make sure the AutoSize and AutoEllipsis properties aren't set.
