good day all
Im trying to read the string below into a radeditor control, my problem is its not reading the \n\n characters. Its writing everything in one line without the breaks.
Does anyone know whats wrong. radEdt.content = mystring, where mystring has the value below.

Dear <Auditor First Name>\n\nYou have new audits assigned to you. Please login and schedule these audits.\n \nThese audits have the following special instructions:\n\r\n<Scheduled Audit Special Instructions>\n\nIf you have any questions please contact me on the above email address.\n\nRegards,\n \r\n \n<User First Name> <User Last Name>\r\n"

Hi Omlac,

RadEditor is an HTML/XHTML editor and it does not understand the newline symbols /n/n used by the plain text editors, because they are not valid HTML tags. In order to fix the problem you should replace on the server the /n/n symbols with <br /><br /> tags using for example the String.Replace method, e.g.

RadEditor.Content = mystring.Replace("\n", "<br>").Replace("\r", "")

Hi Omlac,

RadEditor can load, edit and export only HTML / XHTML content. The HTML tags are strings, but the images are other type of content and they should be uploaded and saved separately. If you would like to save the images to a database then my suggestion is to implement a db file browser content provider. You can find more information in the following live example DB File Browser Content Provider and help article: Custom FileBrowserContent Provider.
