Hello,

I read data from a DB field where a line feed ("\n") is in.
I put this data as text to a label web control.
In the HTML page the line feeds are shown as real line feeds in the HTML
source.
But in the label itself on the page in the browser the line feeds are
ignored.

How can I change the line feeds to HTML syntax (<br/>)?

This does not work:
Server.HtmlEncode(text)

You'll need to use String.Replace("\n", "<br/>")
