Hi Sck10,
Welcome to ASPNET newsgroup.
As for the displaying large text field in asp.net 2.0 FormView control
problem, I think it's because the FormView control by default only genearte
some text and Label control for displaying the data(not container element),
so when the data fields output a large text, it does not break the text
...... For such cases, I think we need to manually put some html element
around the large text or the template so as to force the text to bread into
lines.... e.g, we can use a html table with fixed width and word-break css
style as below:
=====================
<asp:FormView ID="FormView1" runat="server" AllowPaging="True"
DataKeyNames="id"
DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1">
<ItemTemplate >
<table width="200" style="table-layout: fixed;
word-break:break-all" >
<tr>
<td style="width: 128px">
id:
<asp:Label ID="idLabel" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("id")
%>'></asp:Label><br />
name:
<asp:Label ID="nameLabel" runat="server" Text='<%#
Bind("name") %>'></asp:Label><br />
memo:
<asp:Label ID="memoLabel" runat="server" Text='<%#
Bind("memo") %>'></asp:Label><br />
<asp:LinkButton ID="EditButton" runat="server"
CausesValidation="False" CommandName="Edit"
Text="Edit">
</asp:LinkButton>
<asp:LinkButton ID="DeleteButton" runat="server"
CausesValidation="False" CommandName="Delete"
Text="Delete">
</asp:LinkButton>
<asp:LinkButton ID="NewButton" runat="server"
CausesValidation="False" CommandName="New"
Text="New">
</asp:LinkButton>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:FormView>
====================
note that I use the
<table width="200" style="table-layout: fixed; word-break:break-all" >
<tr>
to wapper the ItemTemplate content.......
Hope helps. Thanks,
Steven Cheng

| Hello,
|
| I am pulling data from a SQL Server table. One field that is (varchar
4000)
| is used to show notes. I am using a FormView for showing and editing the
| data. When the form is in Item view, the text runs together. All the
line
| breaks are missing. When I enter into Edit mode, the text is formatted as
| it was entered (line breaks).
|
| How can I fix this so that when in "Item" mode, the line breaks show?
