It works in ASP.NET 3.5 yes, but not in 2.0 for some reason, it displayed the HTML tags to the user as well in 2.0.

Hi, try Literal control instead of Label.

deerchao 2009-12-12 08:29:40

Literal Control works yes thanks, but I want to place the text inside a text box multiple rows so if the text is long the user must be able to scroll and you cant do this with a Literal control.

Oh dear, i see it works fine with a normal label as well, just not when i place the value into a text box with the text mode = Multiline

Etienne 2009-12-12 08:46:53

Then use a Textbox with Multiline = true and Readonly = true: txtDesc.Text = VALUE from DATABASE

Just set textbox's text, you don't need a label.

deerchao 2009-12-12 08:48:26

That is what i have, and it is not working.

You can use a div with style="overflow:scroll" to make it scrollable.

Thanks! I just found that i can add a scroll bar to a label as well by doing this <asp:Label ID="Label4" Style="overflow-y:scroll;" runat="server" Text="Label" Height="64px" Width="248px"></asp:Label>
