equivalent of vbCrLf in c#

Question

I have a to do this:

AccountList.Split(vbCrLf) 

In c# AccountList is a string. How can i do?

Answer 1

You are looking for System.Environment.NewLine.

On Windows, this is equivalent to \r\n though it could be different under another .NET implementation, such as Mono on Linux, for example.

Answer 2

I typically abbreviate so that I can use several places in my code. Near the top, do something like this:

 string nl = System.Environment.NewLine; 

Then I can just use "nl" instead of the full qualification everywhere when constructing strings.
