You are probably doing this:

writer.writeline( "first\nSecond" );

This writes:

First\nSecond\r\n

Solution 1 the obvious one:

writer.writeline( "first" );
writer.writeline( "Second" );

Solution 2:

String data = "first\nSecond";
String writeData = data.Replace( "\n", "\r\n" );
writer.writeline( writeData );

Thanks Ken,

I realized just after I posted this that I need to know a way to convert a
bunch of files that already have this output.

Any ideas on that?

Read each file, replace "\n" with Environment.NewLine and write the text
back to the file.

You should use the Environment.NewLine instead of \n, \r, or their
combinations.

Eg.
...
string str1 = string.Format("Line1{0}Line2{0}Line3{0}",
Environment.NewLine);
...
