Remove carriage return from string

How about:

string s = orig.Replace("\n","").Replace("\r","");

which should handle the common line-endings.

Alternatively, if you have that string hard-coded or are assembling it at runtime - just don't add the newlines in the first place.

If you want to remove spaces at the beginning/end of a line too(common when shortening html) you can try:

string.Join("",input.Split('\n','\r').Select(s=>s.Trim()))

Else use the simple Replace Marc suggested.

Since you're using VB.NET, you'll need the following code:

Dim newString As String = origString.Replace(vbCr, "").Replace(vbLf, "")

You could use escape characters (\r and \n) in C#, but these won't work in VB.NET. You have to use the equivalent constants (vbCr and vbLf) instead.
