Answer 1

Love the sample text :)

How are you saving and loading this to/from SQL ? If I have a multiline textbox, the .Text property includes the line break character -

"Hai.\n\I'm robot.\n\Please feed me."

I save this into an NVARCHAR(MAX) field in a table in SQL, and when I load it back into the textbox, I get the line breaks exactly as it was typed in.

Can you post your your load/save code ?

Answer 2

i got the answer :

To save from multiline textbox to database :

  Dim strDesc As String
  strDesc = ReplaceNewLines(txtDesc.Text, True)

To show back from database to multiline textbox :

strDesc = productDetails.ProductDesc.Replace("<br/>", vbCrLf)
txtDesc.Text = strDesc
