Printing newline in TextBlock in windows 8

Question

I want to assign the TextBlock's Text in my code behind and display it on the screen. It might contain new line character also. But somehow the TextBlock is not printing that character. I have used the following combinations in my text to print the new line character

• 

• 

• 

• 

• \n
• \r\n

Has anyone done this? can you help me?

Answer 1

In XAML you can do like this

<TextBlock>Hello how are you?<LineBreak/>I'm fine</TextBlock>

In code you can do like this

textBlock.Text = "Hello how are you?\nI'm fine.";

Both are working for me.

Edited

For your scenario you can do this

string str = @"Hello how are you?\nI'm fine.";//This is your actual string containing \n as character

or in your case

string str = _arr[index];
str = str.Replace(@"\n", "\n");

Replace "\n" string with new line character.
P.S. It will create problem where you actually want to show \n string instead of new line character.
