  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

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

  venp

  
  
  

• Celios

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

  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.

  
  

• Suganya Mahadevan

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

  Thanks

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

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

  
  
  

• Moksi

  Does this command work in c#.

  I included microsoft.visualbasic but it doesnt work.

  Hi

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

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

  Is this what you meant

   

  HTH

  Edit: Sorry for the cross post.

  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....
