Answer 1

You can easily replace it as that’s normally (you own the database, so you will know better) a hidden character like Line Feed char…

if it is, try this:

<%# Eval("News_data").ToString().Replace("\n", "<br/>") %>

This happens for example if you are grabbing the data from a multirow textbox without convert it before.

\n\r is the same as (chr)13 + (chr)10 witch means LF (Line Feed), CR (Carriage Return).
