line feeds in Gridview cells? vbcrlf ? new line?

[wildman]

Is there any way for gridview cells to observe vbcrlf in the data?

I attempted to do this, but it does not seem to work.

Dim dgItem As GridViewRow
For Each dgItem In gridCollaborator.Rows
dgItem.Cells(6).Text.Replace("-", vbCrLf + "-")
Next

I also tried <br>, no luck

Thanks for any help or infomation.

You'll need to start with:

If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow Then (of course add your
code, and then End If)

then try:
dgItem.Cells(6).Text=dgItem.Cells(6).Text.Replace("-", vbCrLf + "-")

dgItem.Cells(6).Text.Replace("-", vbCrLf + "-") would replace "-" by
the vbCrLf + "-" what makes no sense for the browser if you don't use
<pre> tag that preserves line breaks. Changing to "<br/>-" should make
a break in the text

dgItem.Cells(6).Text.Replace("-", "<br/>-")

should work, unless the content is actually in a child control in the cell
such as a label.
