Hi,
I have to display some data on Labels from the database in asp.net. But the newline character and different text styles cannot be displayed. All datas are appearing as same formatting and in a single line. Can you please help me for solving this problem.
I am using c# coding.

Thanking you...

Tag it! WPF or Forms, or what?!

Different styles for the same label? The class Label won't help you; you need a different class to do such things.

One of these components can help you:
WPF HTML Supported TextBlock[^],
A Professional HTML Renderer You Will Use[^].

Both works offer components based on HTML rendering, one for WPF, another for Forms. (Always tag UI library you want to use, don't force people in doing double work.)

If you use the above components, new line will be <br/>. If you keep using plain-text labels, new line in general case is not '\n' or '\r' or combination. You need to use portable way. Use System.Environment.NewLine.

If you have problem only with newline character you can use "<br>" in place of "\n" or if you want any other special characters, images etc in your Lebel you can use Literal control in place of Label.

I don't know what newline character is used. But maybe you can replace it with

BtWhatever.Text = stringFromDB.Replace(dbNewlineChar, "\r\n");

Now i am using this method. Is there any other method? Can we use text toolbox while entering data in textbox and display the data as there in a label?

Why would someone downvote this solution?

OP even commented that he is using it at the moment (I hope he didn't just mix up the solutions at hand).

If it is indeed that bad, it would be helpful to tell everyone why. So that we all (and by "we all", I mean "I myself") can learn something and stop posting rubbish solution approaches.
