NewLine replacement c#?

Question

I have a windows phone application. In the application I have a textbox whose acceptsreturn property is set to true.

What I want to do is create a string from the textbox and replace the new lines with a specific character, something like "NL"

I've tried the following but none of them worked.

string myString = myTextBox.Text.Replace(Environment.NewLine,"NL");
string myString = myTextBox.Text.Replace("\n","NL");

Answer 1

I'm not familiar with windows phone(or silverlight), but try to split with \r instead:

string myString = myTextBox.Text.Replace("\r","NL");

Why does a Silverlight TextBox use \r for a newline instead of Environment.Newline (\r\n)?

Answer 2

Consider replacing different types of line breaks to handle all the possibilities

string myString myTextBox.Replace("\r\n", "NL").Replace("\n", "NL").Replace("\r", "NL");
