Newline in string attribute
xaml
Solution
<TextBlock Text="Stuff on line1
Stuff on line 2"/>
You can use any hexadecimally encoded value to represent a literal. In this case, I used the line feed (char 10). If you want to do "classic" `vbCrLf`, then you can use `
`
By the way, note the syntax: It's the ampersand, a pound, the letter x, then the hex value of the character you want, and then finally a semi-colon.
ALSO: For completeness, you can bind to a text that already has the line feeds embedded in it like a constant in your code behind, or a variable constructed at runtime.
Problem
How can I add a line break to text when it is being set as an attribute i.e.: ``` <TextBlock Text="Stuff on line1 \n Stuff on line2" /> ``` Breaking it out into the exploded format isn't an option for my particular situation. What I need is some way to emulate the following: ``` <TextBlock> <TextBlock.Text> Stuff on line1 <LineBreak/> Stuff on line2 </TextBlock.Text> <TextBlock/> ```
