If you want text to appear on different lines when you print it, then you need to insert the string "\r\n" or Environment.NewLine at the point or points at which you want the new line to occur.

If you're not using MS Windows, then use "\n" instead of "\r\n".

In the case of a web application
should be used instead.

So, assuming it's a Windows desktop application and you want all code after "Ingred " to appear on a new line, you could do this:

return "Ingred " + "\r\n" + "Potassium Nitrate:"+potNit.ToString()+"Charcoal:"+charc.ToString()+"Sulphur:"+sulp.ToString()+"Cost:"+
cost().ToString ("R0.00") + burnRate().ToString();
