New Line in a TextBox

In a report, I have a textbox... and I want to make a new line in the
expression builder...
I tried that
=Fields!ShipToName.Value & "\n" & Fields!ShipToAddress.Value
but the \n is not recognized
I have tried without the quote, with singles quotes, ... but no way...
It is a really stupid question and I haven't found an answer
Thanks for the one who answersYou could try this:
=Fields!ShipToName.Value & vbcrlf & Fields!ShipToAddress.Value
or
=Fields!ShipToName.Value & ControlChars.CrLf &
Fields!ShipToAddress.Value
I haven't verified how these will behave with different rendering.
This page has some info on the control characters:

Good Luck,

is.

Thank you Craig|||Craig, that was a great tip! I have fields in a database that have line
feeds between lines and your tip with a function fixed it right up.
=Replace(Fields!fieldname.Value, vbLf, Environment.NewLine)
Worked like a champ, thanks a million.
