How can we set line break in an Excel cell in C#, VB.NET

Syncfusion Excel (XlsIO) library is a .NET Excel library used to create, read, and edit Excel documents. Also, converts Excel documents to PDF files.

This article illustrates how to make a line break inside an Excel cell. The Excel cell should be set with wrap text first and then the text should be broken. 

The following complete code snippet explains this.

C#

using System;
using Syncfusion.XlsIO;
 
namespace LineBreak
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            using (ExcelEngine excelEngine = new ExcelEngine())
            {
                IApplication application = excelEngine.Excel;
                application.DefaultVersion = ExcelVersion.Excel2016;
 
                IWorkbook workbook = application.Workbooks.Create(1);
                IWorksheet worksheet = workbook.Worksheets[0];
 
                worksheet.Range["A1"].CellStyle.WrapText = true;
                worksheet.Range["A1"].Text = String.Format("Hello\nWorld");
 
                workbook.SaveAs("Output.xlsx");
            }
        }
    }
}
