Are you roundtripping the data? That is, retrieve it from a <textarea> retrieve it on the server and then display it again?

In HTML a simple line feed / carriage return has no meaning. So, the "enter" you pressed in the textarea won't show up on the page (although it will in the source of the page).

Before you put the text from the textarea back in a label, use the Replace method of the string class to convert the line breaks to HTML breaks, like this:

Code:

string myText = TextBox1.Text.Replace("\r\n", "<br />");
Label1.Text = myText;

This will replace all line feed / carriage return combinations with the HTML counterpart, the
tag.
