Answer 1

It might not be the best way, but you could always use textbox.Text.Split(vbnewline), which will return an array of string. You could use that in a for each loop

For each strLine as string in textbox.text.split(vbnewline)
...
end for

Answer 2

The Lines property is what you want to use. Parsing the Text property yourself requires more code and doesn't make it faster. Write a better question if you have a reason to look for an alternative.
