I am developing a C#.NET application in VS2005 that needs a function
that allows the user to edit some text content stored in a Text column
in a database. I have a TextBox control with AcceptsReturn, AcceptsTab
and MultiLine properties all set to True.
When I set the Text property of the control to the string returned
from the database and show the form, the content in the textbox isn't
"formatted" . All newlines appear as a funky undisplayable character
and does not cause the content following it to appear on the next
line. I dumped the content returned from the database to the Command
window, and it definitely has "\r"'s all through it.
How do I get the text content to appear the same as it would if loaded
into, say, a Notepad window?

Hi,
When I set the Text property of the control to the string returned
from the database and show the form, the content in the textbox isn't
"formatted" . All newlines appear as a funky undisplayable character
and does not cause the content following it to appear on the next
line. I dumped the content returned from the database to the Command

In windows you need \r\n at the end. How the text is stored int he DB in the
first place?
Can you post the code you are using to read it from the DB and assign it to
the textbox?
You could replace \r for Environment.New Line this will assure you to use
the correct new line format.

I posted my question before fully investigating this. You are exactly
on the money. The content that was not being displayed correctly had
been imported with only "\r" at the end of each line. I am coming from
VB.NET and am still learning about the differences in the way things
worked.

Be sure that the TextBox's MultiLine property is set to true.

Folks,
I have a form that has several TextBoxes, some of which have the TextMode set to MultiLine. Each is pre-loaded with data from a database. The user is allowed to modify each entry.
The problem is that only the modified data from the SingleLine TextBoxes are returned. The original data are returned for the MultiLine TextBoxes. Also, if the page is sent to the server (for validation, for instance), only the modified data for the...

I have a MultiLine TextBox to which I add text like this:
TextBox1.Attributes.Add("style","overflow :hidden");
TextBox1.Text = "Line 1\r\nLine 2\r\nLine 3";
The number of lines added to the TextBox can be variable.
Right now (without setting any width / height), I can only see two lines of
text. If I click with the mouse in the TextBox, I can see the rest of the
text by moving the the mouse inside the TextBox.

Hi,
I have a filled multiline textbox on the site. I can scroll it with IE and
Firefox, but under Opera (tested under 7.54, and Opera 8, under "identify as
MSIE" and under Opera identification) , I'm getting a strange behavior: When
I try to scroll, the text doesn't move. It only moves to a new position, if I
move the scroll marks, and then click on a empty place of the website.
There is nothing on the site, just the textbox.

Is there a way to cure this? Thank you all for help.

I have read a lot about getting lines from a multiline textbox in VB.Net.
However, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to write to a multiline
textbox. Basically, I have created an array of strings which I want to
"paste" into a multiline textbox. Any ideas?

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
