Carriage return in TextBox concats an empty string

I'm getting a very peculiar error when I am pressing enter in my textbox... I have a simple textbox on my winform.

I press type the following text:

"This is my message! " with 2 carriage returns after it.

I'm trying to replace the carriage returns with a special tag named %new_line%..but when I go into the debug window inside VS2010 I get this!

Why is: 

  vbCrlf & ""

being added when there is no empty string after it. It's a simple carriage return with no trailing spaces.

Any workaround for this?

That's just how the string is shown in the debug window. There are no characters after the newline.

When you have a newline in a middle of a string, it's shown as:

..." & vbCrlf & "...

There just isn't a special case for displaying the line break differently when it's at the end of a string, so you just get the & " to continue the string, and then the " to end the string.
