Question

Is it possible to display the label text with line breaks exactly as per the image

I need the text on the label to be printed exactly can some one help me, my desired text that has to be shown on the label will be stored in a string-builder

Answer 1

You may append HTML <br /> in between your lines. Something like:

MyLabel.Text = "SomeText asdfa asd fas df asdf" + "<br />" + "Some more text"; 

With StringBuilder you can try:

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(); sb.AppendLine("Some text with line one"); sb.AppendLine("Some mpre text with line two"); MyLabel.Text = sb.ToString().Replace(Environment.NewLine, "<br />"); 

Answer 2

I know this thread is old, but...

If you're using html encoding (like AntiXSS), the previous answers will not work. The break tags will be rendered as text, rather than applying a carriage return. You can wrap your asp label in a pre tag, and it will display with whatever line breaks are set from the code behind.

Example:

<pre style="width:600px;white-space:pre-wrap;"><asp:Label ID="lblMessage" Runat="server" visible ="true"/></pre>
