CR & LF characters at the end of records when using delimited flat file (CR is missing)

Question

Hi All,
I have a requirement where data of SQL query needs to be loaded to a CSV file.
The row delimiter of the CSV file has to be CR-LF.
In the flat file connection manager, I have mentioned Header Row delimiter as "{CR}{LF}" and under columns section, row delimiter is specified as "{CR}{LF}".
But when I open the detsnation CSV file using notepad++, I see only "LF" at the end of all rows.
Can you please let me know how can I get both CR & LF at the end of each row
Below is the screen shot of the flat file connection manager which I have used for CSV destination file:

Hi Raksha,
Just as Vaibhav said, I’m curious why you need use “CR & LF” as row delimiter in Flat File Connection Manage. Since you can use "CR" as row delimiter in Flat File Connection Manager and it worked fine, you can directly specify "CR"
as row delimiter in Flat File Connection Manage.
Besides, if you still want to replace “LF” with “CR & LF” in the text file, we can use Notepad++’s Find/Replace feature or Edit -> EOL Conversion to achieve the goal. Then we can specify "CR & LF" as row delimiter in Flat File
Connection Manage.
The following blog about conversion between “LF” and “CR & LF” row delimiter in Notepad++ is for your reference:
