dotnet windows forms: You could use a TextBox with its Multiline property set to true.

Better way than Label to use function to replace text in web page? Kent P. Iler

Hi,

I'm creating a website where I need to pull data from a database, and
display it on a page. This isn't a place where a repeater or datagrid makes
sense. I was using labels and setting the text equal to the values that I
needed to display. That works OK in most places, but in areas where there
are memo fields requiring multiple lines, a label doesn't cut it.

What would be the best thing to use instead of a label, and allow the
code-behind functions to set the value?

Thanks!

But I don't know how long the text will be, and so I don't want to do a
fixed number of rows. I want something that will only be as large as
the text, but allow for a significant amount, too - such as 4000+
characters.

Thanks!
