As for web pages, break lines with <br> or <p></p> tags. You can also Use Environment.NewLine with VB.

For JS use \n' for the line break -

alert("some text\nmore text in a new line");

Please try with Environment.NewLine for VB.net

as below: 

Dim value As String = "[First" + _
        Environment.NewLine + _
        "Second]"

will return 

[First
Second]

Not a vb expert, but shouldn't it be "\n" instead of "'\n'"? The one in the vb code have both double and single.
