How to convert line breaks in input form in ASP.NET?

Question

How do you usually convert line breaks in a form textbox or input=text element to html line breaks?

Thanks

Edit: Is it always \r\n with all browsers?

Answer 1

Replace(vbcrlf, "<br />")

Answer 2

Or in C#:

myString.Replace("\r\n", "<br />");

If you're worried about it being different on different platforms, you could also do:

myString.Replace("\r\n", "<br />");
myString.Replace("\n", "<br />");
myString.Replace("\r", "<br />");

Answer 3

Is it always \r\n with all browsers?

This is handled on the server, it has nothing to do with browser. However I would suggest using:

System.Environment.NewLine

Answer 4

Depending on the scenario this could also work:

MyString.Replace(Chr(10), "<br/>")
