textbox multiline view text in a div

Question

Hi, I have a textbox multiline for insert text in my db. This text is viewed in a div, but without newlines.

How can I view the newline in my text?

thanks

Answer 1

Use the following:

myText = myText.Replace(Environment.NewLine, "<br />");

to replace newline characters with proper HTML line-breaks.

Best wishes,
Fabian

Answer 2

Put your text inside <div><pre>... text ...</pre></div>. pre tag preserves line breaks.
