line break in a windows application
|

| Hello, All!
I have created an application with a multiline textbox on the form.
When I press a button, it has to show something and then break
the line and show something else.
I tried "\n", ((char)13) and ((char)10) - they don't work.
When I enter a break by hand (just press enter) and run through
each character in that string, the line break character has code
13 10 (yes, 2 numbers for some reason)
The possible reason is that 'Enter' is a "control" key (a char with
ASCII code less than 32) - they usually return 2 numbers...
What should I do to break line in the textbox?
Alternative way was to use TextWriter:
string LineBreak=(new System.IO.StringWriter()).NewLine;
but there must be another way of doing it...
and then just use that string:
this.TextBox1.AppendText("Hello"+LineBreak+"World");
That is kind of stupid...
With best regards, Nurchi BECHED.

Windows line breaks *are* two characters. A linebreak on windows is \n\r -- a linebreak followed by a carriage return (13 10 in decimal). So, what you see is normal.
This should help you with generating linebreaks for windows users, but be careful. Each of the major platforms handles linebreaks differently:
WINDOWS: \n\r
UNIX: \n
MACINTOSH: \r
I leave it up to you to figure out how to decide which type of linebreak to generate.
Cheers,

Small nitpick, carriage return ('\r') followed by a linefeed ('\n').
