I have a Label in my Xamarin forms page, that receives it’s Text from it’s view model, and the text contains the \n character.
How can I make the Label to automatically split the text into two different rows?
Copied from a thread in Xamarin Forum
Probably your code:
<Label FontSize="Medium" TextColor="Gray" Text="{translation:TranslationResource MyExpertsView_NoExpertsText}" IsVisible="{Binding IsNoExpertsFound}"></Label>
Since your text is retrieved from a resource file, the Text property of Label treats the input as plain text and will not allow any escape characters.
You may consider pre-processing the strings (replacing all \n to line feeds) from theTranslationResource.
Answer：
Very simple add following unicode instead of \n
for ex:
Text="General
Studies - I"
Answer：
One way to solve it would be replacing in your VM the ‘\n’ with System.Environment.NewLine
string Text = "Text first line\nText second line".Replace("\n", System.Environment.NewLine);
Answer：
You can do that it like that:
Text = "First line string
Second line string"
Answer：
I just use \n, i’m using XAML and I’m binding the text through Binding on the label.
Answer：
The simplest way is use “Shift+Enter” to add new line in your resource
