I have a form which contains multiline TextBoxes, which is used to put stuff into a database. This works fine, but I am having trouble displaying the Data, Whilst still keeping any New Lines that the user had entered.

You should use an HTML textarea instead of a multiline textbox if you want breaks between lines.

HTML TextArea

Not really a solution more an observation... Ive had the same problem when putting values into a multiline textbox it doesnt keep any of the line breaks in when returning the values to a listbox or datagrid or a datalist, however if you return the values back to a different textbox it does keep the line break?!?!? our SQL dude here told me I would need to use the vbCrLf  command. I havent got round to figuring out how to use this command in my code yet though. When I do I will postback my set you off in a good direction for the time being, if anyone thinks I'm talking nonsense though please say as I'm not entirely sure this is the right way to go.

What it boils down to is whether the control uses the standard linebreak or if it uses the <br> (also the <p>, etc). Some controls, like the multi-line textbox use the linebreak. Some, like the textarea control, use <br> and some dont accept any linebreaking (listbox I believe). This is part of why its important to thing about what control you need for what usage.

From what I can gather, this is not a different solution since multiline textbox is represented by HTML textarea already when presented to the browser.  Line breaks are represented by /r/n character combination which often have to be replaced by <br> prior to being displayed.  I wish the powers that be can one day remove this issue since so many people are having problems with it.
