Convert the field to a templated, then in the textbox and set wrap="true".
You might also want to use the multi-line textbox attribute. Here is some
example code.

<asp:DetailsVie w ID="DetailsView 1" runat="server"
DataSourceID="S qlDataSource1" Height="50px"

Width="125px" AutoGenerateRow s="False" AllowPaging="Tr ue">

<Fields>

<asp:CommandFie ld ShowEditButton= "True" />

<asp:TemplateFi eld HeaderText="Fir stName" SortExpression= "FirstName" >

<EditItemTempla te>

<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("FirstName ")
%>'></asp:TextBox>

</EditItemTemplat e>

<InsertItemTemp late>

<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" Wrap="true" runat="server" Text='<%#
Bind("FirstName ") %>'></asp:TextBox>

</InsertItemTempl ate>

<ItemTemplate >

<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("FirstName ")
%>'></asp:Label>

</ItemTemplate>

</asp:TemplateFie ld>

<asp:BoundFie ld DataField="Id" HeaderText="Id" InsertVisible=" False"
ReadOnly="True"

SortExpression= "Id" />

</Fields>

</asp:DetailsView >
