<div>
put a break tag <br />
&nbsp;instead of newline
</div>


<div>
the break tag is &lt;br;&amp;gr
</div>


<div>
sorry, some troubles with this page. A break tag is: &nbsp; [ less-than-sign ] br [greater-than-sign ]
</div>


<div>
My challenge is how it is displayed in visual studio. &nbsp;I don't have a problem using &nbsp; for a hard break in the displayed page. &nbsp;The problem is managing the html code while creating it in visual studio. &nbsp;I only seem to be able to write the code as one long line. &nbsp;Very difficult to work with. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Hope this helps.<br />

Use a variable to store the body. &nbsp;Something like strBody. &nbsp;Then you can concatenate the string to put it together in pieces.<br />
strBody = &quot;First Line&quot;<br />
strBody = strBody &amp;&nbsp;&quot;next part&quot; &amp;&nbsp;vbcrlf<br />
In fact you can have problems if you do keep it all in one line. &nbsp;Keep the lines to about 70 or 80 characters and use vbcrlf to start a newline in the text. &nbsp;Let me know if you need more info to use this. &nbsp;The vbcrlf part does not need to be on each line. &nbsp;The key is the first part (e.g. strBody = strBody &amp;&nbsp;&quot;next part&quot;).<br />

It seems that you are both assuming a text message body. &nbsp;In that case I would use the vbcrlf to break the text string. &nbsp;In this case I am trying to create an html message body. &nbsp;The email object is set as:<br />
<br />
mailobj.IsBodyHtml = True<br />
<br />
This requires that the string that follows the obj.body be in html format. &nbsp;I'm going to try the line continuation idea supplied by magicclaw but I won't be able to get to it until tomorrow.<br />
<br />
I'll let you know and thanks again<br />

In my example, you would just put your html into the &quot;&nbsp;&quot; sections where I have written the blah blah blah blah blah text. You would use html formatting and html line break characters to control the resultant html; what i was demonstrating was just the ability to break the string up over multiple lines within the source code file; anything can go in the text strings in place of the blahs: text, html, etc.

Magicclaw,<br />

Your line concatenation solution worked. &nbsp;I did have a chance to test it tonight. &nbsp;Thanks to both of you for your help. &nbsp;magicclaw gets the points.<br />

Ira,<br />
I am glad Magicclaw's post worked and you tried it. &nbsp;As you hopefully found out you can use HTML in the strings and make an HTML message. &nbsp;In fact that is the way to do it. &nbsp;My solution does the same thing and would also work, whether it was html in the string or not.<br />
The vbcrlf I added was so the html &quot;source&quot; would not all be one line. &nbsp;Some mail servers will have a problem with lines that are long. &nbsp;It is better to keep them short and add line feeds, even if you are doing an html message and they would not be seen unless viewing the source.<br />
I just wanted to clarify what I suggested.<br />

<div>
Thanks Bol,<br />
<br />
I didn't quite understand at first but I guess as long as the inbodyhtml is true it mightlook like a text streeg complete with vbcrlf it is treated as html. &nbsp;Thanks for the clarification.<br />

I am trying to create an html email to be sent from my web page. I originally set it up for text but I am trying to convert it to html. &nbsp;The text version worked fine. <br />
<br />
My problem is that it seems that the entire html obj.body = code has to exist on one line. &nbsp;If I hit enter and start a new line, visual studio automatically puts a &quot;&nbsp;at the end of the first line and everything after fails. &nbsp;This one long line of html code is very difficult to manage. &nbsp;Is there any way to show the code in multiple lines? &nbsp;<br />
I tried attaching a snippet but it shows up wrapped.<br />
Is there any way to define the html code in another file? &nbsp;Any other suggestions?<br />

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the main markup language for creating web pages and other information to be displayed in a web browser, providing both the structure and content for what is sent from a web server through the use of tags. The current implementation of the HTML specification is HTML5.
