asp:label not formatted

I'm using an asp:label to display source code on my web page. The source code
is formatted with carriage returns, tabs and spaces. In the past, all I had
to do was wrap the label in a <pre> element and it was fine. But this time,
when I wrap my asp:label inside a <pre> element, it's only recognizing the
carriage returns but not the tabs or spaces.

When I view the source code in NotePad, everything is properly formatted. So
how do I display it in an asp:label?

Is there something I'm not doing?

When I do something like:
lbl.Text = "this is a test" & System.Environm ent.NewLine & "
duh " & vbTab & "asdsdd"

it works fine. I'm thinking maybe your source text isn't right.. Like
maybe your Carriage returns are just \r and not \r\n or something...

Hello, I really hope that someone can help me resolve my problem, I've been working on it for the past few days, to no avail. I have an asp:label which gets its value from the database, but what I'm trying to do is to get that value (from the asp:label) and place it inside the javascript input value. I can post sample code if required.

I want to use a asp Label control (or a <div runat=server> element) in a template column of a datagrid. In the code behind in the grid's ItemDataBound event I need to dynamically set the innerHTML of this control with data and line breaks (<br>). The problem is that while working in the code behind, I don't see any properties for this control where I can set innerHTML, only text. Any good ideas?

Below is some code that I do not know why it does not work. Okay, as you can see it is simple HTML with two ASP:Label controls. Each label has some code that basically gets a string that will be written to the browser. ConditionalText.Eval is a method from my own library. As you can see, I have written some static text before and after the first Eval call. If I open this page, I get no content in the Label, even the static content. I...

Is there another way to put labels on a page other than asp:label? I have been building a page where I use a label to display the calculated result of some imput. I do it using Javascript. But since the asp:label equates to a <span> I have to create nodes to display the new text. The problem is that as soon as I change pages (whether by post or just using a back button), I lose whatever changes I made. I don't have that problem with...

I'm using VS 2003, and need to extract the text from an asp label in my code-behind file. The label is part of a DataList's ItemTemplate. I've noticed that in my ascx file (we're using User Controls here) I can't set the Text property in the opening tag when writing out the <asp:Label....</asp:Labeltags. I have to put my text between the opening and closing tags, like you would with a regular HTML tag. So this might be the cause of...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
