Multiline Textbox - Automatically Break To Next Line After 100 Characters
May 2, 2012
I've had an "interesting" request .
1) Is it possible, in a multiline textbox, to automatically break to the next line after 100 characters?
2) If not, is it possible to parse the enter key as entered by the user to break the line in the code behind?
Some additional info:
The person requesting this does not think that the user should use a single line textbox limited to 100 characters and click an "Add Line" button to store that field in a table.
The person requesting this is of the belief that a DEC Alpha-based system that currently does this can be replicated on the web.
how to limit the number of characters per line in a multiline textbox? Any posibility to do this with javascript? I have the users enter a list of names and need to limit each. I hate to use another textbox to add each name. If so, I would then add them to a listbox instead so they could select and remove a name.
I have a scenario in my application, by saving a text of length 20000 chars without line break in between.When i retrieve the same to an asp.net textbox control my UI is stretching to the length of these 2000 chars in a single line . I have to wrap the text automatically inside text box.
I have a multiline textbox which can contain only 500 characters. Now i want to show the user the number of characters left as they are typing into the textbox as is the case when we use twitter.
On my Asp.Net GridView I am binding a textbox to a field in SQL. Sometimes the content of the textbox is more than 1 line and I
need to show only the LAST line. How can I do that? Here is part of my code...notice that I use Rows=1 on purpose so that I am able to show only 1 line but I need it to scroll all the way down and have it show only the last line of the whole content:
it's a multiline TextBox the MaxLength property does not work. At the moment I only see the option to use a CustomValidator with checking TextBox1.Text.Length on server side and perhaps in addition some Javascript client side validation.But isn't there a simpler way to do this, using the standard ASP.NET validators (RegularExpressionValidator, RangeValidator, CompareValidator, etc.)
How do I just get the first line of a multiline textbox? Either that or delete everything after "<br/>"? I tried something like this but it doesn't work:
In my asp web page, there is a multiline textbox. And upon a button click from the same page I need to delete the last row or line from the multiline textbox. How is that possible.
When I trace the variable while debugging I notice that when using Internet Explorer 7, the text is parsed correctly from the text box and <br /> tags are inserted appropriately.
However when the page is ran in Firefox or Chrome, the line breaks are not converted.
I am using Multi-line Textbox through which users will be able to enter data which will be saved on to the SQL Server 2008 database. There is an other process, which reads this data from the table and writes to a text file.
Problem:
If the data entered by users in text box contains <Enter> from keyboard, it is saving to the database with some spaces replacing the <Enter>.
Some how if I read the same data to a text box on webpage, it is being displayed properly.
But, if my second process that reads the data from database and prints to a text file, it is not keeping the text format properly. It is not retaining the <Enter> in the data being printed to text file.

I have a header section in my css file and am trying to have a h1 title in in with a text box just to the right of the title (a bit like on sites like amazon and play, except using a piece of text for the title, rather than an image logo).
By default, if I use an h1 tag, it will insert a line break and cause the text box to appear below the title. I've tried using a span tag with class h1, but that doesn't work (I don't know if this is because h1 isn't considered a class in the same way that the classes prefixed with a dot in the css file are).
What is the best way to have the title text have the same style as the relevant h1 tag, but not have the associated line break?
I might be just blind (very possible!) but i can't find any information on here/Google anywhere that me out at all :( First up, below is the code i'm using to send the email message:
Which sends fine, and does UTF8 fine when enabled etc... however in the resulting email i get this (UTF8 or not):
MIME-Version: 1.0 From: "The name i want" <fromname@fromdomain.com> To: someone@atadomain.com
And this is from checking the files in MSSMTP Queue folder, so it seems to me its .NET adding the line break in or MSSMTP doing it when it receives the email.
I am trying to create a menu with the following code. But I cannot figure out how to get each LinkButton to appear on seperate lines.
MenuPanel.Controls.Clear(); foreach (FormList f in forms) { if (f.IsActive == "y") { FormUserControl fc = (FormUserControl)LoadControl(f.StartControl); LinkButton lb = new LinkButton(); lb.Text = fc.Title; MenuPanel.Controls.Add(lb); // I want some sort of line break here } }
