Line terminator in VB.NET

I am using the System.Text.StringBuilder to build a string. I want to append line terminators to this string. In C# I would use "\n". What is the equivalent in VB.NET?

Also, is there a line terminator property somewhere in the .NET FCL for building strings?

I have been surprised how hard it is to find an answer to this question. My background is not VB so may be it is assumed knowledge.
 
Try environment.newline.

Hi Chris,

As Tracey says, environment.newline will do the job. This will give you
the appropriate string for the environment in which your app is running
[strangely enough :-)].

If you know you'll be sticking to Windows, you might prefer the shorter
vbCrLf.

Regards,
fergus.

'Environment.NewLine' or 'ControlChars.NewLine'.
