//insert tab character
sb.Append(\"Line 2\");

Answer 1

It depends on if you mean '\n' (linefeed) or '\r\n' (carriage return + linefeed). The former is not the Windows default and will not show properly in some text editors (like Notepad).

You can do

sb.Append(Environment.NewLine);
sb.Append("\t");

or

sb.Append("\r\n\t");
