system.linq.strings is inaccessible due to its protection level again

I want to use the carriage-return/linefeed character combination (Chr(13)+Chr(10)). I am using the Microsoft.Visualbasic namespace but I am getting the error

system.linq.strings is inaccessible due to its protection

string Wrap = Strings.Chr(13) + Strings.Chr(10);

The compiler can't figure out which Strings class you'd like to use. You can explicitly write out Microsoft.VisualBasic.Strings.Chr(13) to help it along. But in this case you should use the Environment.NewLine instead. It should get you the correct character combination regardless of your operating system.

\r\n is much more concise and to the point. try

const string wrap = @"\r\n";

instead

In C# you should use "\r\n" or Environment.NewLine.

You are getting this error, because the system is trying to call the "String" method that is in "Microsoft.VisualBasic". For some reason it is not finding it and it is trying to call the method on "System.Linq". in your remove System.Linq if you are not using any Collections or doing anything with Linq

The idiomatic way to do this in C# is string Wrap = "\r\n";. In this situation, though, I would simply put it in-line, like this:

MessageBox.Show("Encryption Complete\r\n\r\nTotal bytes processed = "
                + lngBytesProcessed, // note: no need to convert to string
                "Done",
                MessageBoxButtons.OK,
                MessageBoxIcon.Information);
