13 How can I make? textbox is multiline

the code is

string text_str = txtbox.Text;
text_str .Replace("(?<!\r)\n", "\r\n");

Solution

  • I think you're looking for something like this:

    string text_str = txtbox.Text;
text_str = text_str.Replace("\\n", "\r\n");
txtbox.Clear();
txtbox.Text = text_str;

    Although that's a really round about way of doing things. This will accomplish the same thing:

    txtbox.Text = txtbox.Text.Replace("\\n", "\r\n");
