Line break in c#

Question

Hi I am working on a condition statement with a very long opening if statement and this requires me to keep scrolling right. How can I break onto a new line so my code is easier to read but without breaking the string? e.g. if (ThisUser.Company == MyCompany || ThisUser.Company == MyCompany2 || ThisUser.Company == MyCompany3 || ThisUser.Company == MyCompany4 || ThisUser.Company == MyCompany2) { Logo.ImageUrl = ../Images/Logo.png; } Thanks M

Whitespace isn't significant in a C# program and so you can break up lines as you like. However string literals (i.e. strings enclosed in quotes) shouldn't be broken unless you precede them with '@'. For example: string str = @ab cd; Console.WriteLine(str);

You can split the line up as others have suggested. You can do that in many other situations also. In this situation however another possibility might be to use a collection (such as list or array) and then search that. You can use a foreach to search an array and the performance would be close to how you are doing it in your if statement.

You can span the programming statements into multiple lines as above. In C# line terminator is ;. But if you want to span a string into multiple lines you can either use  +  or string literal @ e.g. string sqlString = SELECT FIELD1 FIELD2  + FROM TABLE_NAME  + WHERE FIELD3=100; or string sqlString = @SELECT FIELD1 FIELD2 FROM TABLE_NAME WHERE FIELD3=100;
