Labels and Carriage Returns

[gi11ies]

Hi

I have a multiline text box that I paste text/paragraphs from a word doc into - and save to an Access database in a memo field.

Problem is when I try to display the content from the memo field on a page using an ASP:Label it shows it all without the carriage returns.

for example in the label on the page its all joined together, I get

1 2 3 4 5

instead of

1
2
3
4
5

Any tips on how to overcome this?

I got this sorted:

lblText.text = Replace(myString, vbCrLf, "<br />")

is the solution to my problem.

You may also want to consider the white-space CSS attribute. Setting it to "pre" acts like the old style html tag with the same name.
