Newline in textarea in DetailsView (asp.net)

I just updated a page to use a DetailsView in asp.net. It included a MultiLine textbox, which is now in the EditItemTemplate of the details view. The problem is that when outputting this data (which is stored in the database), I was replacing vbCrLf (a new line contant --> VB, Carriage Return, Line Feed) with <br/>, which worked fine before, but now that it is in the details view its like the vbCrLf doesn't exist and after the replace(str, vbCrLf, "<br/>"), instead of there being a HTML break (<br/>) where the textbox had linebreaks, it all just displays in one line. How can I fix this? Thanks.

Solution

  • Try Environment.NewLine instead
