What my program does and is download a string from and uploaded FILE. I need to ADD a new line to the listbox for every line of string in the downloaded string.

so for example

downloaded string =
firstlineofstring
secondlineofstring

I need to add
listbox1.items.add(downloaded string); //add line 1 of string,  add line 2 of string,  add any other lines

if I just do listbox1.items.add(download string); it will wrap the text and not PAY attention to the newline thats in the string.


so the listbox will look like:

firstlineofstring
secondlineofstring


any help WOULD be great.
If I understand what you're trying to do, you'll have to SPLIT the downloaded string first before adding it.
Something like:
Code: [Select]listbox1.Items.AddRange(downloadedString.Split('\n'));if AddRange is unavailable (I don't remember if you can use it on listbox item collections), then you can alternatively loop through the lines and add each one:
Code: [Select]foreach (string line in downloadedString.Split('\n'))
   listbox1.Items.Add(line);

You may also need to tweak the arguments to the String.Split method above (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/y7h14879.aspx) Quote from: TechnoGeek on March 25, 2013, 05:01:48 PM
