c# - How do I programmatically add NewLines to a TFS work item textbox? -
i have web system has few hooks our tfs work item system. 1 of things trying when action performed, takes current text in 1 field , makes comment in "general comments" field announcing field (yes know, history contains higher ups want in gen comments).
the problem having tfs seems ignoring environment.newlines have in string. code:
item.fields[gencomments].value = string.concat(datetime.now.toshortdatestring() , " - qa dashboard - required date reason set \"hotfix\", contained \"" , item.fields[reqbydtreason].value.tostring() , "\"." , environment.newline , environment.newline , environment.newline , item.fields[gencomments].value.tostring());
so assuming general comments section contains:
this sentence in general comments
i following output in general comments section when work item saved
9/29/2010 - qa dashboard - required date reason set "hotfix", contained "hotfixtest".this sentence in general comments
why ignoring new lines , how can new line work item?
thanks,
tfs work item content processed html. that's happening here , hence it's ignoring extraneous newlines in text. try wrapping content in <pre>
block or using <p>
, see if fixes issue.
