MessageBox Text from Settings

Question

I would like to set my WinForm controls' text from the Settings.

In case I would like to change in the future the program language, it is quite easy;

Just have to modify the appropriate settings.

One of the messageBoxes text has a line break ( \\n ).
When I insert its text from Settings, the \\n appears as part of the text and there is no line- break.

MessageBox.Show(P_Settings.NotificationMessageBoxes.Default.ProcessFinishedNotification, 
P_Settings.NotificationMessageBoxes.Default.ProcessFinishedNotificationTitle, 
MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Question);

Any ideas?

Answer 1

This should work for you

string somestring = @"this is some text \n Some more text";
somestring = somestring.Replace(@"\n", Environment.NewLine);
MessageBox.Show(somestring);

Answer 2

Replace:

MessageBox.Show(P_Settings.NotificationMessageBoxes.Default.ProcessFinishedNotification, 
P_Settings.NotificationMessageBoxes.Default.ProcessFinishedNotificationTitle, 
MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Question);

With:

MessageBox.Show(P_Settings.NotificationMessageBoxes.Default.ProcessFinishedNotification.Replace(@"\n", Environment.NewLine)), 
P_Settings.NotificationMessageBoxes.Default.ProcessFinishedNotificationTitle, 
MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Question);

Replace will check for \\n and replaces it with: Environment.NewLine . The Escape sequences have no meaning within actual string objects. Only when the C# compiler interprets them.
