Placing control tag text in a multiline TextBox

I have a multiline TextBox that I want to display the text used to create a
control in an apsx file. I want each of these to be on a separate line in
the TextBox. The only way I know of to place things on separate lines in a
TextBox without doing it programmatically is the following:


Line 1
Line 2
Line 3


However, if I do something like the following:







I receive a Parser Error that says:

Parser Error Message: The 'Text' property of 'asp:TextBox' does not allow
child objects.

Is there any way to avoid this problem without adding the text
programmatically? Thanks.

Try something like
<NJS:MyCustomControl ID="MyCtrl1" runat="server"/>

Re: Placing control tag text in a multiline TextBox

That was not my real concern here, my problem was that I cannot and line
breaks. Because the text is being placed inside a TextBox, the br tag will
not work. For the moment, I am simply adding the text in the Init event of
the Page, but that requires me to make sure all the "'s are added correctly,
which is a pain to do. Any ideas?
