i figured out a way to do it.. not sure if its the right way, but it seems to work for what i need it for..
string strTemp = myTextBox.Text;
string strCorrect = strTemp.Replace("\n", "<br>");that will make it go through the text and replace all the end of line characters with <br> hope that helps! still a newb.. cut me some slack :P -dz
