New Line in StringWriter

Question

I need a new line in my StringWriter. It is just not happening. Please help.

    stringWrite.WriteLine(Header);
    stringWrite.Write("\n ========================================================");

Header is a string.

I tried stringWrite.WriteLine. That isn't working either.

Where are you writing to? What are you using to read the output data (file, another console, app, etc)? That should work completely fine in any case (whether it's Mono, or .NET WIndows) — Dan, Apr 23 '14 at 07:20
To tell the truth, it is working. I have hust tested it in Console Apllication. — Farhad Jabiyev, Apr 23 '14 at 07:21
Have you tried using `Environment.NewLine`? But as Dan said, this should work... — Christoph Fink, Apr 23 '14 at 07:21
@chrfin`stringWrite.WriteLine(Header); stringWrite.Write(Environment.NewLine); stringWrite.WriteLine(" ========================================================");` isnt working either — divinediu, Apr 23 '14 at 07:27

stringWrite.WriteLine("\r\n========================================================"); — Ehsan Sajjad, Apr 23 '14 at 07:27
If you're writing to raw PDF, try using a line break "
", but really this all depends on what PDF library you are using. — Dan, Apr 23 '14 at 07:28
@EhsanSajjad Tried in a different browser. Any idea what the problem may be? — divinediu, Apr 23 '14 at 07:28
\r\n should work. its weird that its not working in your case — Ehsan Sajjad, Apr 23 '14 at 07:30
@EhsanSajjad Tried both `\r\n` and `environment.newline`. Not working. PDF looks very ugly. — divinediu, Apr 23 '14 at 07:31

clean solution and rebuild it, may be old build is running again and again — Ehsan Sajjad, Apr 23 '14 at 07:32
@Dan PERFECT! Never imagined that a
tag would be detected. Thanks a lot!! Please answer my question so I can mark your solution as the answer? — divinediu, Apr 23 '14 at 07:34

You are missing \r, in Windows a newline is composded of carriage return (\r) and new line (\n) so to create a newline you must add \r\n

In this case, since you're writing to PDF files, they require the use of the <br> tags (line break in html) instead of the normal \n format for new lines.
