I want to let users enter text - multiple lines - up to about 800
characters. I want to preserve line breaks and white space, if possible, to
a database. In subsequent sessions, the users should be able to retrieve the
text and see it just as they had previously entered it (line breaks and
all).
Which control should I use?
Thanks!

Hi Johnson,
Some of the third party rich controls are pretty nice but they can also be a
pain to set up because it takes more than just plopping a simple control on
a form.
However, if you need only plain text there's no need for this sort of stuff.
If you're dealing with plain text have a look here: http://west-wind.com/weblog/posts/1499.aspx
which has a few routines I commonly use to clean up text from user input.
You can just run that on the input from a TextBox/TextArea.
Regards,
+++ Rick ---

I have a user control, it must set a property when it is just created, so I set it in its constructor, which has an parameter to specify the property .
For example:
public class ExecQuest : UserControl,IOleClientSite,IDocHostUIHandler
{
public ExecQuest(Type showType)
{
this.showType = showType;
}

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,...
