I've been trying for ages. How do you read a csv into c# with line breaks and nested quotes. At first I was looking for paired quoted to denote a value, but you can have nested quotes!
How is excel able to do it?
I have an xml file as shown below. In that the MailBody has contents stored in tabular form. In that table I have a column 'Description' which needs to preserve line breaks and paragraph format if user input is in paragraphs.
At present that column displays data as one whole paragraph even if user enters data with line breaks by Enter key.

I insert a text box, change the parameters to multi line and then pass the string to sql. Users insert comments etc, using line breaks, however because I just pass this as a string the line breaks are not there when they view the text box after input. Example: Here is a well formatted comment. as I typed in the text box today. Inserted in to sql as a string, returns this on select:
Here is a well formatted comment.as I typed in the text boxtoday. How do I insert the line breaks in the string from a textbox?
I know this is probably a pretty easy thing to do and it is if I can upload the file and store it onto the hard drive of the server. What I need to do is read the text file into memory and then parse through it one line at a time. Anyone have any code that demonstrates that?

I've used Enviroment.Newline() to do some html conversion stuff, but I've never ran into this specific problem.
Edit: Nevermind, it was working just fine, but I was replacing " " incorrectly. Stupid mistake. I have to convert the " " to <p> tags. I've done this before, but if anybody wants to answer, I'll mark their answer as correct.

View 2 RepliesI have a problem with my XML that I am trying to display on my ASP.NET page. What I would like to do is display it on a multi-line so I have an XML file that looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="News.xslt" ?>
<newslist>
<news>
<date>20th June 2010</date>
<detail>Detail line 1.
[Code]....
When it displays the first detail line everything is on the same line. I've done some digging about and I have tried the following:
xml:space="preserve" in the XSLT file in the XML file<br />
I've even tried leaving it as it is.
I am using Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2010. The control I am using is the XML control under the standard tab, and the language I am using is C#.
Objective:take string from "code-behind" writen in C# language and display it in html <p> element using ASP.NET MVC.

I have a list view that does something like this in the ItemTemplate:
<div><%# Eval("QualificationDescription") %></div>
My problem is that QualificationDescription has line breaks in it, if I put it in a TextBox it will display them but if I put it in a div it does not. Is there anyway to get the line breaks to show in a div?
On aspx page I have asp:textbox multilined, where I type data. When I assign TextBox1.text to a string i get something like this:
"line1
line2
line3"
But if I try to set it back to literal, I get:
line1 line2 line3
(without the line barkes)
How to solve it? Is the only way to replace the with <br />?
A note: If I store the in put in database (sqlserver), and open the table in sql management studio -> edit rows-> I see string line1line2line3 (all together), but if try to copy to clipboard this content (Ctrl+C) only line1 is copied! Why? Also, If i bind this data to a repeater, and Eval("myfield") to repeater I get the line brake!
Is there any way to allow page breaks to be used in a multi-line textbox control. I would like the text below to be inserted into my database, so when displayed in a label its not all in one paragraph. Ex:
some text to be inserted in <br/>
some more text to be inserted in <br/>
I am currently working on a site that reades from several fields in a database to present the information on the site. One of the fields containes several paragraphs of data and I am having trouble displaying it correctly on the site.
The database holds the text in a plain text format (no html) the requirements are such that the website should be able to display this same text, properly formatted, without having to convert it to html code. Thus far I have setup a <p> tag with an ID in the markup like so:
Code:
<p id="body" runat="server"></p>
The problem I am having is:
1) line breaks are not appearing (I only get a solid paragraph)
2) the ' marks are not showing up.
Here is my code behind
Code:
Dim lblBody As HtmlContainerControl = CType(editplaceholder.FindControl("body"), HtmlContainerControl)
lblBody.InnerText = NullTest(dsarticle.Tables("selectedArticle").Rows(currentrow).Item("Article_body"))
I am sure my problem is that I am feeding plain text but I am not sure of the way around this. Do I need another html element? Is there somewhere I need to convert the text?
For some reason the line breakes from asp.net textboxes are not being stored in my db.
I am using Server.HtmlEncode(txtAbout.Text) to take the text from the textbox. This part works and text is taken out with line brakes
But when I trace the text the line breaks are lost After this line
db.AddInParameter(dbCommand, "About", DbType.String, about);
db.ExecuteNonQuery(dbCommand);
In the stored procedure the varable @about is ntext. In the table the column about is ntext
I want to be able to store strings in the DB but some are long and i want to format them such that when i copy them out of SQL and past them into notepad they have line breaks to break up the otherwise single line that runs on forever and hard to read.
lets say i am storing a string of all the session variables like this, how do i include line breaks in here?
StringBuilder theBody = new StringBuilder();
theBody.Append("Session Values: " + "
");
foreach (string s in Session.Keys)
theBody.Append(s + ":" + Session[s] + "
");

Here's some pseudo-code as to how I'm converting line breaks in a multi-line textbox into the html equivalent for storage into a DB.
Server.HtmlEncode(Trim(TextBox.Text.Replace(Environment.NewLine, "<br />")))
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.

<asp:TextBox ID="Body" runat="server" Columns="55" Height="101px" Rows="30" TextMode="MultiLine"

This stems from a recent similiar issue: I have since add edit capabilities.My access db is made up of imported records from recipes. In the memo fields are paragraphs users have typed replete with ingredients listed in succession (1 per line) then a normal paragraph follows. When in editmode(multi line textbox), suddenly in each line ends with <br>. How to fix this? I want to preserve the line breaks od course.
View 2 RepliesI have a Placeholder control on Employee Main Menu. Several SQL Data sources are run at page load in order to notify employees that something is due. Each "something is due" message is loaded into a unique label. Therefore the Placeholder could have several labels in them. For clarity's sake I'd like them separated by line breaks. However I understand from reading a previous forum item that "< /br>" are ignored. How can I embed a line break when PlaceHolder_Msg.Controls.Count > 1

View 7 RepliesI'm trying to optimize SEO readability on our websites and one issue I've come across is ASP.NET butchering the title element of my MasterPage. Entered as such in my MasterPage (manually reformatted to remove line breaks caused by the <% %> tags):
<title><asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="TitleContent" runat="server" /> - <%=WebsiteSettings.WebsiteName %></title>
This is the output I receive:
[code]...
As you can see ASP.NET is adding preceding and trailing line breaks where the <asp:ContentPlaceHolder /> is substitute becaused Visual Studio auto-formats <asp:Content /> to start and end with a line break. Obviously, this can be prevented in the Visual Studio formatting options, but this is not ideal because I only would want to remove that behavior for the TitleContent placeholder and not the rest.
Is there any way I can ensure my Title is trimmed before it is rendered? I am using MVC so code-behind is not an acceptable option.
One column in my GridView has the format 1-2345 (one digit followed by a dash followed by four digits. Normally, everything looks OK, but sometimes the other data in my GriView will expand to two or more "lines" in the same row of data. Unfortunately this causes my cell to look like the following:
1-
2345
This looks really really awful and I need to fix it. You know how in HTML there is the non-breaking space symbol? Well I want a non-breaking dash symbol.
