I defined a textbox named txtMsg to hold the body part of the message.
What I want to do is to display html content in txtMsg like this:
txtMsg.text="<b>Hi xxx,</b><br /> blah blah blah"; (where Hi xxx should be in bold and with a line break）
The TextBox display it in plain text instead of rendering it as html.
If i do this to a Label control, it works fine. Is it possible to do this with TextBox? If i can not accomplish what i am doing using textbox, what other

Display html in a textbox
May 15, 2008 07:33 PM|LINK
Hi,
I have a simple webmail page.
I defined a textbox named txtMsg to hold the body part of the message.
What I want to do is to display html content in txtMsg like this:
txtMsg.text="<b>Hi xxx,</b><br /> blah blah blah"; (where Hi xxx should be in bold and with a line break）
The TextBox display it in plain text instead of rendering it as html.
If i do this to a Label control, it works fine. Is it possible to do this with TextBox? If i can not accomplish what i am doing using textbox, what other
controls can recognize html tags
Thanks!

you'll have to use whats called a "Rich" textbox.
FreeTextBox
TinyMCE
FCKEditor
RichTextBox
These are all ones that are out there, in addition to others....

You can use Literal control...
Literal1.Text="<b>Hi xxx,</b><br /> blah blah blah";

google with "rich text box" + "asp.net" and you get a lot of results.
