By downloading a string from the web, is it possible to make the messagebox read values like \r\n or Environment.Newline, that are written inside the text downloaded ?
The online text message contains: First line \r\n Second line (into a textfile)... i would like to out put this inside the messagebox as it is formatted in the file.
var message = await RemoteHandler.GetWebContent(RemoteHandler.RemoteMessageUrl);
MessageBox.Show(message, "Title", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);
Current output:
First line \r\n Second line
Wanted output:
First line
Second Line
After some different test cases, I have determined that your \r\n is most likely stored as \\r\\n in your string which would cause the \r\n to print as a string literal instead of an Environment.NewLine. You should use one of the the following code to correct this string:
message = message.Replace("\\r\\n", Environment.NewLine);
message = message.Replace(@"\r\n", Environment.NewLine);
By using the double backslash, the carriage return and new line characters are being escaped and thus being printed literally. This is either a data issue or an issue with how the string is being loaded from the remote resource. However, this should get your new lines printing correctly within the message box.
