C# Questions relating to TextBox

[User 690568]

I'm a C# newbie. How can I insert a new line into a multi-line TextBox field? I've tried '\n' but instead of inserting a new line, it displays a strange character. Also, I want a particular method to execute when a user presses 'Enter' key after typing something in TextBox. Please help! :confused: mughalali

if the other suggestion doesn't work, it may be something like   or one of those sets. for the return, why not do a keypress event? surgeproof ------------------------------------------------------- ithium is the best.

Use Environment.NewLine, which will guarantee the placement of a newline.

Not necessarily in the TextBox (which encapsulates the Edit common control). To dislay new lines in a TextBox, the Multiline (inheritted from TextBoxBase) needs to be set to true, as well as the AcceptsReturn property.
