Reading a multline asp:textbox - who stole the line breaks?

[Brain101]

If you have a multiline asp:textbox, and you are trying to insert the contents into an email, how do you get it to include the line breaks? For example, if I enter:

1
2
3
4

.... it keepts turning it into:

1 2 3 4

.... which is a bit of a pain. The code I'm using is below. Any ideas? Thanks



<asp:TextBox ID="blah" runat="server" Width="350px" Rows="4" TextMode="MultiLine" Wrap="False"></asp:TextBox>

mail.Subject = "Include line breaks, you stupid email"
mail.Body = "The textbox contains " & Request.Form("blah")
mail.BodyEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII
mail.IsBodyHtml = True
Dim eclient As New SmtpClient("localhost")
eclient.Send(mail)

For html emails you need to replace linebreaks in the field with <br/> tags.

 

[toString]

Don't know about .net but in classic I used sometihng like:

msg = Replace(Request("blah"),VbCrLf,"<br/>")
