Newbie: Textbox text from string

If I were to set textbox text from a string, as such:
    dim myString as string = "Hello"
    textbox1.text = myString
It of course works. But what is the rule concerning new lines, for
instance, the following:
    dim myString as string = "Hello" & chr(10) & "Goodbye"
    textbox1.text = myString
Then both are displayed on the same line even though:
    msgbox(myString)
would show them on different lines. How do I get example two to show
them on different lines?

Thanks

Dim myString As String = "Hello" & ControlChars.CrLf & "World"

Change the Multiline property of the textbox to True.
