Add newline to Gridview cell

[John Doe]

I'm binding a Gridview to a DataTable. I want to display the Gridview cells
with multiline values. In populating the data for the DataTable, I use
Environment.Newline but the data doesn't display in Gridview as multiline:

newRow[myDataColumn.Ordinal] = diff.ToString("N")+ Environment.Newline +
pct.ToString("P");

Look at your source code output and I would hazard a guess that your newline
isn't being rendered as <br>, which in html would create a newline. If I
recall correctly, you can only do this using templatefields, so have a read
of a few tutorials like this one to start:
