Difference between n and Environment NewLine

Question

What is the difference between two  if any  with respect to  Net

User · Accepted Answer

Depends on the platform  On Windows it is actually   r n    From MSDN      A string containing   r n  for   non-Unix platforms  or a string   containing   n  for Unix platforms

User · Answer

As others have mentioned  Environment NewLine returns a platform-specific string for beginning a new line  which should be      r n    u000D u000A  for Windows   n    u000A  for Unix   r    u000D  for Mac  if such implementation existed    Note that when writing to the console  Environment NewLine is not strictly necessary   The console stream will translate   n  to the appropriate new-line sequence  if necessary

User · Answer

From the docs         A string containing   r n  for   non-Unix platforms   or  a string   containing   n  for Unix platforms

User · Answer

You might get into trouble when you try to display multi-line message separated with   r n    It is always a good practice to do things in a standard way  and use Environment NewLine

User · Answer

Environment NewLine will return the newline character for the corresponding platform in which your code is running  you will find this very useful when you deploy your code in linux on the Mono framework

User · Answer

Environment NewLine will give   r n  when run on Windows   If you are generating strings for Unix based environments  you don t want the   r
