    vbCrLf wierdness

    Been a long time since I've played with this, just got .Net version of
    Visual Basic. Having annoyance with a real simple thing. I'm adding a
    tooltip to a control like:

    Me.ToolTip1.Set ToolTip(Me.SubN ame,"This is a two-line" & vbCrLf & _
    "tooltip.")

    If I ctrl-F5 from the code menu, it compiles and runs OK (breaks the
    tooltip into two lines). If I go to the form design window, I get the
    error:

    "The variable 'vbCrLf' is either undeclared or was never assigned."

    Didn't think I needed to declare a system constant. When I go back to
    the code view, VB has ever so kindly deleted the tooltip from the
    control.

    This has got to be something real stupid on my part, but I'm blocked.

      Almost everybody in this newsgroup is using VB6 or lower. While you may get
      a stray answer to VB.NET questions here, you should ask them in newsgroups
      devoted exclusively to .NET programming. Look for newsgroups with either the
      word "dotnet" or "vsnet" in their name.

      For the microsoft news server, try these newsgroups...

      microsoft.publi c.dotnet.genera l
      microsoft.publi c.dotnet.langua ges.vb
      microsoft.publi c.vsnet.general

      There are some others, but these should get you started.
