I am new to asp.net and SQL 2005.  I have a asp.net form with a description field (text box) that enters the data into a database and is displays it on another page in a databound control.  Is there a way to control the presentation of the databound information b/c after a certain amount of characters (depending on the page section) the data starts forcing the page section to increase and look messy.  Is there a way for to specify that after a certain number of characters go to the next line, or do I have to change something in the description text box or the databound control when it displays the data to display it properly?  I hope I expained that correctly.  Thank you.

Hi,

yes, it is. What databound control do you use? GridView, Repeater etc? They have RowDataBound or ItemDataBound events to deal with the data when it is to be databound. You can use a helper function with them, for example.

Thanks for the info.  One is a GrivView and one is a DataList.  I will try and see if the helper function works.
