What are you going to DO with this string?
If you are going to display it as part of an HTML page, then Richard (above) is correct.
If something else, then you need to determine what that something expects as a newline indicator.

Right, and new line is platform-dependent, but some details are ignored by some controls...

strMailBody += "<tr><td></td></tr>";
strMailBody += "<tr><td style="\"border-bottom:" 2px="" solid="" mode="hold" />strMailBody += "</tr></td></tr></table>";

Try

if the string is not intended for HTML Render ( Environment.NewLine is Windows equivalent for Line Break )

C#

string body =   "From :" + from + Environment.NewLine+
                            "To :" + to + Environment.NewLine+
                            "Sub :" + sub + Environment.NewLine+
                            ebody.Text;

Or else

C#

body = body.Replace(Environment.NewLine, "<br />")

which the solution says

Is that a custom error? Environment.NewLine is a windows equivalent for line break , if in your case if trying for html rendering then use br . Solution was posted to to show the difference only.Anyways whats the error while you debug the code?

Solution 3

You are using here this string in asp script so you need to use html line break tag which is <br>
so instead of \r use br tag
