title: Inserting formatting characters in String.Format?
body: <p>I googled for this, but VB.Net (2008) doesn't seem to allow inserting formatting characters (eg. \t, \r\n) in String.Format:</p>
  
  <pre><code>'BAD MessageBox.Show(String.Format("{0}{tab}{1}", "Foo", "Bar"))
  'BAD MessageBox.Show(String.Format("{0}\t{1}", "Foo", "Bar"))
  MessageBox.Show(String.Format("{0}" &amp; vbTab &amp; "{1}", "Foo", "Bar"))
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there an easier way to build a formatted string that must contain formatting characters?</p>
