displaying html code in a textbox control

Is it possible to insert HTML codes to a textbox control ?

I am reading HTML formated string from sql server but if i assign this value
to Text property of TextBox, the format tags of HTML seems too...

sample string value from database:

Sales Contract

Paragraph 7.
Buyer has the right to examine the goods upon receipt and has ____ days in
which to notify seller of any claim for damages based on the condition,
grade, quality or quality of the goods. Such notice must specify in detail
the particulars of the claim. Failure to provide such notice within the
requisite time period constitutes irrevocable acceptance of the goods.

The string is asked for in a textbox because of the scrollbars of textbox,

Are there any solutions to display html codes in textbox control or any
suitable control for this ...?

Thanks....

Do Server.HtmlEncode before assigning this to the Text property....

As well as George's suggestion, you could use a WebBrowser control and
use its DocumentText property to load your text into it.

Hi George ,

I am trying this.

TextBox1.Text = Server.HtmlEncode(DT.Rows[0][1].ToString());

But it seems in textbox like that:
Sales Contract <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns =
\r\n"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"
/><o:p></o:p>\r\n<o:p> </o:p>\r\n

but the value is :

\r\nstyle=\"FONT-SIZE: 11pt\">Sales Contract \r\n\"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office\"
/>

\r\n

0pt\"> 11pt\">

\r\n

web form not a windows form.

Sory for the mistake..

Hi,

Good clarification :)

Just a Label, instead. Or a Literal control

If you using WebControls then they will do Server.HtmlEncode automaticly.
So TextBox1.Text = DT.Rows[0][1].ToString();
That is why you end up encoding twice.. so becomes <img> and
then becomes &asmp;lt;img>

If you using HtmlControsl they do not do that so you will need
TextBox1.Value = Server.HtmlEncode( DT.Rows[0][1].ToString() );

PS: I wish WebControls did not do encode too...

Thanks George,

I use Panel control and

tag combination instead of textbox.

the aspx code:
BorderStyle="Solid" BorderWidth="1px"
ScrollBars="Auto" Style="padding:10px">

and the code-behind part:

ForTheDocs.InnerHtml = Server.HtmlDecode(DT.Rows[0][1].ToString());

Thanks a lot.
