I did a quick google search and I found and old mailing list thread that seems to indicate it wasn't possible at the time (back in 2013) but I was wondering whether there's a straightforward way to doing it now?

Hi and welcome to the forum.

You can do multiline strings, here are a couple of examples: -
Dim sString As String[] = ["I did a quick google search and I found and old mailing list thread that seems to indicate it wasn't possible at the time (back in 2013)",
    "but I was wondering whether there's a straightforward way to doing it now?"]

Dim sS As String = "I did a quick google search and I found and old mailing list thread" &
    " that seems to indicate it wasn't possible at the time (back in 2013)" &
    "but I was wondering whether there's a straightforward way to doing it now?"

...and you can naturally do stuff like this:-
Public Sub Button1_Click()
Dim CatStevens As String

  CatStevens = "It's not time to make a change" & gb.CrLf &
  "Just relax, take it easy" & gb.CrLf &
  "You're still young, that's your fault" & gb.CrLf &
  "There's so much you have to know" & gb.CrLf

  TextArea1.Text = CatStevens
  

End
