How can I create a carriage return in my C# string

Question

I have C# code that creates HTML. One particular piece of code creates a long string which is no problem for the browser. However when I look at the code with view > source

Answer 1

You can put \r\n in your string.

Answer 2

Along with Environment.NewLine and the literal \r\n or just \n you may also use a verbatim string in C#. These begin with @ and can have embedded newlines. The only thing to keep in mind is that " needs to be escaped as "". An example:

string s = @"This is a string
that contains embedded new lines,
that will appear when this string is used."

Answer 3

string myHTML = "some words " + Environment.NewLine + "more words");

Answer 4

<br /> works for me

So...

String body = String.Format(@"New user: 
 <br /> Name: {0}
 <br /> Email: {1}
 <br /> Phone: {2}", Name, Email, Phone);

Produces...

New user:
Name: Name
Email: Email
Phone: Phone

Answer 5

myString += Environment.NewLine;

myString = myString + Environment.NewLine;
