Question

I am using Razor, MVC3 with Poco entities.

While inserting into the database I am using Enviroment.NewLine as a seperator between two texts.

  oldValues += " Name = '" + oldName.Name + "'" + Environment.NewLine ;
  oldValues += " Age = '" + oldName.Age + "'" + Environment.NewLine ;

I am then assigning this oldValues string object to one of my columns in the database.

But when I am reading this value onto my webgrid, the formatting does not appear as expected.

What could be the problem here ?

Please suggest me some methods, I have also tried appending

  <br />

tags too.

Expected Output in one of my webgrid column:

Old Values are

Name = Yasser

Age = 24

and New Values are

Name = Yasser R

Age =25

Actual Output in one of my webgrid column:

Old Values are Name = Yasser Age = 24 and New Values are Name = Yasser R Age =25

That’s the behavior of HTML. You can wrap your text with <pre>Your String Here</pre> and it should display the text as you’re expecting it.
