Try using the Trim method if the new lines are only at the end of beginning:

input = input.Trim();

You can use Replace, if you want to remove new lines anywhere in the string:

// Replace line break with spaces
input = input.Replace("\r\n", " ");
// (Optionally) Combine consecutive spaces to one space (probalby not most efficient but should work)
while (input.Contains("  ")) { input = input.Replace("  ", " "); }

If you want to prevent newlines completely, most TextBox Controls have a property like MultiLine or similar, that, when set, prevents entering more than one line.
