WatiN and breaklines

Question

I want to enter value into text field with break lines to check some functionality of application. Like this:

value1
value2

I used Environment.NewLine, "\r\n" but WatiN translates them into spaces:

MyField.Value=("value1"+Environment.NewLine+"value2");
MyField.Value=("value1"+"\r\n"+"value2");

Manually all is OK. Is there a way to really imitate entering a break line in WatiN?

Both solutions worked for me in a textarea set to more than 1 row:

textArea.SetAttributeValue("value", "abc" + Environment.NewLine + "123");

textArea.TypeText("abc" + Environment.NewLine + "123");

Make sure you set your Field to support multiple lines.
