Is it possible to embed a newline constant in a string in the same way
as c#? I really don't want to do something like this:
++ String.Format("Line 1 : {0} " & vbcrlf & " Line 2 : {1}", o, t)
when I should be able to do
++ String.Format("Line 1 : {0}\nLine2 : {2}", o, t)

Not the best example, I am sure, but it does get worse in many cases?
So, is there a way to do this in vb, or am I stuck? I have tried
googling but I can't find anything.

The only way I can think of is:

String.Format("Line 1 : {0}{1}Line2 : {2}", o, vbcrlf, t)

This solution is even worse because one additional concatenation needs to be
performed at runtime!

I agree, I was just trying to show the OP the futility in his request.
