Replacing linebreaks with <br>

[Stefan Landgraf]

Hi there!

How can i replace linebreaks with <br> in datalist output ?
Is there a way i can do that in the aspx page itself without having
to go through the code page?

Thanks
Stefan

Stefan,

Normal functions can be called directly from within your databind
expressions so you could do it something like this. I haven't tested this
code so it might have to be modified slightly but I'm pretty confident it
will work as is:

<%# CType(DataBinder.Eval(Container,
"DataItem.MyItem"), String).Replace(VbCrlf, "<br>") %>

Sincerely,
