  How do you create a multiline textbox on a page report in the standalone designer (winforms) using multiple fields? I need to create a multiline textbox with customer name, address, and city-state-zip (5 fields) on three lines.

  Hello,

  Please use the following expression in the TextBox fields:

  =Fields!FirstName.Value +vbCrLf + Fields!Address.Value  + vbCrLf+ Fields!City.Value +", " + Fields!Country.Value +", " + Fields!PostalCode.Value
  

  Thanks,

  That worked - thanks. The vbCrLf is a VB syntax. Is VB syntax always used in the text box expression or can C# syntax be used? If C# can be used there is no equivalent to vbCrLf other than System.Environment.NewLine or “\r\n” - neither of which work. What would be used in that case?

  Thanks
  
  Tom

  Hello,

  Yes, only VB syntax is used in the TextBox expression.

  Thanks,
