在Crystal Report上将多行文本框值显示为多行文本

Question

I am saving value from a Multiline ASP.Net Textbox into the Database .

<asp:TextBox id="txtDesc" runat="server" TextMode="MultiLine" width="300"></asp:TextBox>

It save the lines from Textbox separted by a Space in the database.

I want to display this value on the Crystal Reports exactly the same as entered in Textbox ie multiline value. Currently, it displays Textbox value in a single line on reports.

For understanding purpose :

Why multiline TextBox doesn't save any <br/> or /n with text in Database ?

OR

When getting back the value, how it differentiate different lines in a value (mulitline value)

Any help will be appreciated.

From the following post: html textarea injecting line breaks , where the opposite problem was mentioned, you can use the wrap="hard" attribute to replace soft line breaks with hard ones in the TextBox:

void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (!IsPostBack)
    {
        txtDesc.Attributes.Add("wrap", "hard");
        ....
    }
}

On my Windows system, \\r\\n is inserted between lines.

According to my tests, the wrap attribute is maintained accross postbacks.
