I do this:


While reader.Read()
                strAssigned = strAssigned & CType(reader("Login"), String) & "," & vbNewLine
End While

So I debug and its got the correct string:


Jon,
Joe,
Blah

I want to assign this string to a datagrid column on my grid:


CType(e.Item.FindControl("hlAssignedTo"), HyperLink).Text = f.GetTicketAssignments(CType(CType(e.Item.FindControl("hlTicketID"), HyperLink).Text, Long))

It sets that column but it does not keep the newline...so it comes up as:


Jon, Joe, Blah

I want to keep it with the newline :(

vbnewline <> <BR>

VBNewLine is a CRLF, which is why it looks right in your IDE, but for HTML, you've gotta have your <BR>'s to make it work.

Try this:


While reader.Read()
                strAssigned = strAssigned & CType(reader("Login"), String) & ",<BR>" & vbNewLine
End While
