Thread: Problem with a multiline textbox

First, the code that i´m using:

Code:

//Get url contents
HttpWebRequest hRequest = ((HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url));
hRequest.UserAgent = "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; es-ES; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092417 Firefox/3.0.3";
HttpWebResponse resp = (HttpWebResponse)hRequest.GetResponse();

//Read contents and output into a textbox
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(resp.GetResponseStream());
string res = reader.ReadToEnd().ToString();
reader.Close();
textBox1.Text = res;

The problem is when i see html source into the textbox it appears bad formatted, dont know if each line of a texbox has a limit of characters and this is why it jumps to another line or what happens.
I set the wordwrap property of the textbox to false and added both scrolls bars, but it still bad formatted.

Can someone help me?

Thanks in advance.

It could be a bad newline character. Try:

Code:

textBox1.Text = textBox1.Text.Replace("\n", "\r\n");

or:

Code:

textBox1.Text = textBox1.Text.Replace("\n", "\n\r");

(I always forget which order they should be)
