I have an ASP.Net page with a multi-line textbox on it. Will the line endings on this textbox be according to the server or the client? What I'm asking is if ASP.Net is running in Linux on Mono will the line endings always be or will it depend on if the client computer is running Linux? Are line endings in a textbox determined by the server or client?
View 2 RepliesI have an some code to export data form an SQL database to an Excel spread sheet. the data is entered via a web site and some of it contains multiple lines of information. I need to preserve the multiple lines but excel 2007 continues to put an [?] at the end of each line.Here's what I got so far
CellValue.ToString() // this returns [?][?] at the end of each line for excel 2007
// and a single [?] in excel 2010
CellValue.Replace("[//r]","") // this works correctly for 2010 but still leaves a [?] for 2007
Cellvalue.Replace(Environment.NewLine, "") // this removes all the line breaks.
what can I replace the Environment.NewLine with in order to still have line breaks in both excel 2007 and 2010 (with no [?]) ?

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.
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:
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtBoxComments" runat="server" MaxLength="5000" ReadOnly="true" Rows="1" Text='<%# Eval("Comments") %>'
TextMode="MultiLine" Width="100%" Wrap="true" />
<ItemTemplate>

View 1 RepliesI have an ASP.NET control. I want to align the textbox to the right and the label to the left.
I have this code so far:
<td colspan="2">
<asp:Label ID="Label6" runat="server" Text="Label"></asp:Label>
<div style="text-align: right">
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox3" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
</div>
</td>
The textbox aligns to the right, but the label aligns to the left and on the line above. How can I fix this so that the label is on the left, the textbox on the right, and both on the same line?
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:

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:

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'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.
I have text I drop in:
This is My Text
This is Line 2
This is Line 3
I save this into SQL Server, but when I reload it the data comes out as
This is My Text This is Line 2 This is Line 3
How I save it, how I load it, or both?
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.

View 1 RepliesHere'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.

This is probably something very simple that I've over looked, but I have a template field in a details view. In the field there is a html <p> tag that is bound to a database field. The database field is set to nvarchar(max) and will usually be very long. When the text is loaded into the <p> tag, it is not wrapped and does not go onto a new line when it reaches the edge of the screen.
