Displaying a horizontal rule in an asp:Textbox

Question posted by: silpa (Newbie) on July 3rd, 2008 11:06 AM

Hi,

I have created a new web application in asp.net.I am using VS 2008.
In the web form,I have placed a textbox and a button.

In the button click event,I have written as follows:

TextBox1.text="abc"+ Environment.NewLine + "<hr>";

I want to get the output as (abc and a horizontalrule in the textbox)
abc
--------------------------------------------------

But I am getting as follows.
abc
<hr>

Please help me regarding this.

Thanks,
Silpa

As far as I know text boxes can't display HTML code, just text. If you want something like that, you'll need to use Rich Text.
