Dear All,

I have typical problem with TextArea/Textbox for showing multiple line.

from my database value is coming as below

"Dear xyz \r\n hope u r good \r\n how about ur health \r\n ...."

when is binding to the control is also OK ,i have seen in the Quick watch/Immediate window.

But when i am looking in the final output page in Browser (IE11) it is showing in a single Line.
It's happening with Text box as well as text area and in chrome also same error.

Please help in this

Thanks

Coming out of the database, any newlines should be replaced by <br> tag

Going into the database, any <br> tags should be replaced by a newline. For VB.NET, this is vbCrLf, for C# it is \r\n (or \n seems to work), and for a lanugage-agnostic solution use System.Environment.NewLine.

Solution 1

Hi here the solution what exactly "PBGuy" tried to explain you..

newlines should be replaced by <br> tag

str.Replace(@"\r\n", "
");

or

string result = Regex.Replace(input, @"\r\n?|\n", "
");
