Multiline strings with variables

Very quick question, how do I do I multiline string w. variables.

string color = red;
string location = ocean'

String sentence = "I have a {0} fish", color +
"\n that I caught in the {}", location;


I keep getting an error.

Try

Code:

---

string color = "red";
string location = "ocean";

String sentence = "I have a {0} fish" + color +
"\n that I caught in the {}" +  location;

---

or try:

Code:

---

string color = "red";
string location = "ocean";

string sentence = "I have a " + color + " fish" + Environment.NewLine +
                            " that I caught in the " + location;

---

thank you, silly question

The samples above indicates that they are using String.Format() method, so then they are wrong.

Code:

---

string color = "red";
string location = "ocean";
string sentence = String.Format("I have a {0} fish{2}that I caught in the {1}", color, location, Environment.NewLine);

---

Notice that the key point is using of the placeholders {}.

Beware though, in multi-line TextBoxes (and many other things) "\n" isn't enough. Sometimes you need "\r\n", sometimes you don't. If "\n" isn't working add the "\r" in front of it (order is important).

I have not figured out the "rules" yet on this, so it is trial and error for the most part. Textfiles opened with notepad? "\n", WordPad? "\r\n". I think, or maybe it is the other way around.

good to know.

Look at Environment.NewLine.

that's why you use Environment.NewLine instead of "\n" or "\r\n".
