If your placeholder is in html enabled mode then "<br />" will work as a newline

Solution 3:

This works for me:

(In Visual Studio)

  1. Open the .rdl file in Designer (right-click on file in Solution Explorer > View Designer)
  2. Right-click on the Textbox you are working with, choose Expression
  3. In the Set expression for: Value box enter your expression like:

    ="first line of text. Param1 value: " & Parameters!Param1.Value & Environment.NewLine() 
    & "second line of text. Field value: " & Fields!Field1.Value & Environment.NewLine() 
    & "third line of text."
