hard return in a string replace assitance 1

[toetag]

I'm using C# for code behinds in a ASP.NET site.

Users are entering information into a database and later display same. Some entries have hard returns in them and when it's redisplayed, the hard returns are of course not recognized and the formatting is thus wrong.

I need a way to replace the hard returns at display time with <br>. I have tried

DisplayString.Replace(char(13), &quot;<br>&quot
DisplayString.Replace(&quot;\r\n&quot;, &quot;<br>&quot

I of course know why the above didn't work, but i was swinging at a hope and a prayer.

Is there any way to use the Default &quot;String.Replace&quot; instead of having to dive into regex parsing?

Any assistance is greatly appreciated for this programming neophyte.

I believe that should work, but you need to assign the result:
[tt]DisplayString = DisplayString.Replace(&quot;\r\n&quot;, &quot;<br>&quot[/tt]

Good lord that was too simple. ***WARNING: Old Cliche in use ***
