Why do this in the first place? It is not the most user-friendly way to present your data.
Maybe if you explain a bit more, there might be a better solution for what you want to achieve.

Please clear that its dataset or datatable, if its datatable then you iterate through it and append the values to stringbuilder and finally, textbox.text = stringbuilder.tostring(); also u need to use text area for this. but why do u want to do like as its seems ugly practice.

Solution 1

You have to iterate over the rows, like using a FOR loop, and append each line to a string variable or StringBuilder (better!) and build the text yourself. There is nothing that's going to do it for you automatically.

How can you add all rows in single textbox ?
Do you know, dataset may contains combination of multiple tables
If there are multiple rows in dataset (forget about multiple tables) then how can show all rows in textbox and how user friendly it is ? either you need to show it in Multiline textbox or gridview or repeater control
