vb.net web application

[tek2002]

I have a question about carriage returns.

txtOutput.text = "1" & vbcrlf & "2" & vbcrlf & "3"

When i use the above code in a vb.net web application,
the output is displayed in 1 line: 123 instead of
the expected 3 lines:
1
2
3

I tried to use &quot;<br/>&quot; as it works with c# web applications but it does not work here....not sure if i should post this in the asp.net forum.

Can anyone tell me what i should do to have the output diplayed over more than 1 line.

Thanks

try this:

txtOutput.Text = &quot;1<br>2<br>3<br>&quot;

It should produce the following:

1
2
3

Just remember the output is HTML, so you can use <br> or <p>, or whatever formatting tags or style you like.

does not work.

in webform1.aspx.vb
in an event handler for a command button, i placed

txtOutput.text = &quot;1<br>2<br>3<br>&quot;

and when i build and run, i get:

1<br>2<br>3<br>

It appears you are using a TextBox anyways, and not a label...so html wouldn't work in it.

Try using Chr(13) and see how that goes.

Does Not Work.

txtOutput.text = &quot;1&quot; & chr(13) & &quot;2&quot; & chr(13) & &quot;3&quot;
Produces: 123

for a label, chr(13) translates into a space:
1 2 3

for a label <br> translates into carriage return like u said:
1
2
3

Nothing seems to work for a text box....help

Is the text box set to multiline?

OMG - i cant believe that i overlooked that...urrghhh

thanks so much -> vbcrlf and chr(13) works perfect if you have textmode property set to multiline.

thanks again
