How I can set button text on multiple lines in C# from aspx.cs page?

I am having a button in my project whose text I am setting through aspx.cs page. Here is code of button

<asp:Button ID="btnEmailRequestSummary" runat="server" OnClick="btnEmailRequestSummary_OnClick" />

Here is code from aspx.cs page

if (//condition)
{
    btnEmailRequestSummary.Text = "Generate & Email - Request Summary";
}
else
{
    btnEmailRequestSummary.Text = "Generate Request Summary";
}

I need a 'Summary' word to be appear on next line. I tried using <br />, \n, and also ASCII values for <br /> and \n but no luck.

You may try this CSS:

white-space: pre;
width: 60px;
word-wrap: break-word;

With the exact text for the button being:

string.Format("Generate & Email - Request {0} Summary", Environment.NewLine);

NOTE: the spaces before and after the Environment.NewLine

EDIT : As pointed in comment this solution might not work on some browsers, please use CSS to achieve this as suggested here

declare this CSS class :

<style type="text/css">
    .wrap { white-space: normal; width: 100px; }
</style>

Then in the code-behind:

btnEmailRequestSummary.Attributes.Add("class", "wrap ")

This might work on some browsers,

btnEmailRequestSummary.Text = "Generate Request &#010; Summary";

[ampersandHash010;] character entity normally gives the new line in Button Text. Refer this link for more Character Entity References:

Hope this helps.
