For a Textbox that dynamically loads a string. The string is long and displays only 1 line in the Textbox. Thus, only a part of the string is visible. How can the text in the TextBox get better formatted? Thanks.

Ranjan: Thanks for your quick response. I tried to embed the TextArea control into the aspx, but got some mix-up - All of the asp controls after the TextArea control disappear. Could you provide some additional advice? Thanks.

I don't understand what you mean by disappear.. Please do check the html source , try building it again and retest.
