.NET Forum / ASP.NET / General / May 2008Carriage Return in Web.config file?
Hi there, I am reading a string from a web.config file and displaying it in a label on an .ASPX page. I want a carriage return in the string so that it looks right, but can't get it to put one in.. I have tried using \n and e.t.c. in the config file setting but none of those produce a carraige return in the output. Is this possible? > I am reading a string from a web.config file and displaying it in a label > on an .ASPX page.

It crashes the application if you just enter <br/> in the web.config file and if you escape the less than / greater than characters, it just comes out as <br/> in the text. Hi, <appSettings> <add key="XXX" value="XXX-zzzz" /> </appSettings> ------------------------------------------------------------------- Label1.Text = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("XXX").Replace("-", "<br />") HTH, S.

Try a Literal instead of a Label. > <br /> Mark, you were right. I realised that I was using a span directly rather than an asp:label to render a span. If you set the label text it does process the <br> and render a new line. Free MagazinesGet these publications absolutely FREE for up to 12 months. There are no hidden fees and no obligation.
