c# - adding line break

Question

I have a problem with adding line break in a string. I have tried using " ", and Environment.NewLine also does not work.

FirmNames = "";

foreach (var item in FirmNameList)
{
    if (FirmNames != "")
    {
       FirmNames += ", " + LineBreak;  -- I want a line break here after the comma ","
    }

    FirmNames += item;
}

Can anyone help?

The correct answer is to use Environment.NewLine, as you've noted. It is environment specific and provides clarity over " " (but in reality makes no difference).

foreach (var item in FirmNameList) 
{
    if (FirmNames != "")
    {
        FirmNames += ", " + Environment.NewLine;
    }
    FirmNames += item; 
}
