I want to display total lines at the bottom of multiline text box.

People suggest following
//to find number of lines
int lines = textBox1.Lines.Length;
//to find number of words
int words = textBox1.Text.Length;

But visual studio does not recognize lines.
Do i need add reference ?

or any idea

Thanks

I'm not sure what they are smoking. That's just plain not going to work, it's made up.
