In c++/c/c#/php/just about everything you can embed control chars in a
string using a \.

Examples of this include, but are not limited to, \n \r \t.
An example : "This is the first line \n and this is the second \n\t and
this is tabbed in"

Can I do this in VB.Net somehow. That is all.

No, unfortunatelly it's not possible.

Just as it isn't possible to have multi-line strings, multi-line
comments and multiple results from a function...
