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:

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,

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!
