| Hi,There is a label control on .aspxThe text "hello" comes from database i.e.label1.text = "hello";Note that, I do not have permission to change the UI code.I would like to alter the value of the field in the table to show the text as bold i.e. <strong>To have the text displayed as highlighted i.e. bold, I manually modified the text inside the field of the table to show<strong>hello</strong>Is this ok?It does not seem to work because in the label control I see:<strong>hello</strong>Any thoughts please?Thanks |

| why you need to store this in table? the formatting stuff like bold,highlight,... needs to be done at front end |

| I have managed to get hold of the .aspx code It is: Label.Text = Server.HtmlEncode(History.History).Replace(Environment.NewLine,"<br/>"); Is this the cause of not displaying the highlighted text? A few questions I have just thought of;What do you think of the following please?1)It seems updating the value of the field by placing char(13) into the required locations of the field, does not have any effect to have a carriage return in the line.i.e. update table1 set field1 = 'hello' + char(13) + 'there'The result is hello there instead of:hellothere2)The reason the encoding code was placed into the .aspx page is because the field data has carriage return and line feeds. So the UI shows the new lines correctly as stored in the sql server table field. Otherwise, the carriage returns in the fields do not get displayed.Thanks |
