Answer 1

Use Environment.NewLine for line breaks.

Answer 2

Try this :

string myStr = ...
myStr = myStr.Replace("\n", Environment.NewLine)

Answer 3

Try \n\n , it will work! :)

public async Task AjudaAsync(IDialogContext context, LuisResult result){
await context.PostAsync("How can I help you? \n\n 1.To Schedule \n\n 2.Consult");
context.Wait(MessageReceived);
}

Answer 4

Yes - it means you're using \n as the line break instead of \r\n. Notepad only understands the latter.

(Note that Environment.NewLine suggested by others is fine if you want the platform default - but if you're serving from Mono and definitely want \r\n, you should specify it explicitly.)
