and</XYZ>

when I save text in xml it save exactly like whatever I type..but when I fetch from XML then it display in one line.. what is the problem?? any suggestion plz

UPDATE

XmlDocument xd = new XmlDocument();
string LastModifiedByTrans = "";
string date = "";
string LastModifiedByQaed = "";
string QAed_date = "";

try
{
    foreach (var g in gp)
    {
        p.text = g.Text_xml.ToString();

        // LOAD TEXT XML
        xd.LoadXml(p.text);
        XmlNodeList txt = xd.GetElementsByTagName("Texts");
        for (int i = 0; i < txt.Count; i++)
        {
            XmlNode nd = txt.Item(i);
            if (nd.HasChildNodes)
            {
                XmlNodeList cnd = nd.ChildNodes;
                    foreach (XmlNode n in cnd)
                    {
                           cont = n.ChildNodes[0].InnerText;

..

by innerText I fetch XML value .. its like n.ChildNodes[0].InnerText; "front0 and \r\n\r\nsaid can " string but when I display it in div tag it shows in single line

public List<Room> getText(decimal Trans_ID, decimal Job_ID, string GroupName, string path)

        foreach (var g in gp)
        {
            p.text = g.Text_xml.ToString();

@kupendra You are wrong. The question is not about lines replacing at all. — Yeldar Kurmangaliyev, Jun 08 '15 at 06:32
@debin How do you write your XML and read your XML? Could you, please, provide code samples? — Yeldar Kurmangaliyev, Jun 08 '15 at 06:33

How do you read your XML? What do you mean by "fetch XML"?
There are many ways in C# to read XML contents of a file.
Please, provide a code snippet for fetching your XML file.

Here is my code snippet which loads XML data from a string (it is correct due to assuming that your file is writing correctly). It properly reads multiline XML element to a string.

Update: Oh, now I get it. I met the same problem when I was learning PHP. It was totally driving me crazy.
Then, I have found an answer: the text is actually displaying correctly. However, HTML doesn't output line breaks.

It means that:
You have XML:

<value>Hi
I am a multiline
value</value>

It is properly read to a string and outputed to an HTML like this:

<div>
  Hi
  I am a multiline
  value
</div>

However, in browser you will see a single line. Here is a JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/s9d36a8n/
You can ensure if I am right by looking at the source code (Ctrl + U in most browsers).

If you want the data to be displayed on several lines, you need to place HTML line break <br/> in the end of every line like this:

<div>
  Hi<br/>
  I am a multline<br/>
  value
</div>

You can achieve this by executing

htmlWithBrs = cont.Replace(Environment.NewLine, "<br/>");

You will get something like this: http://jsfiddle.net/5vtk8ovk/

but in my case it doesnot shows as it is..it makes in single line – Dhara Jun 08 '15 at 07:37
thanx for ur reply but I got an error after adding these lines `cont = n.ChildNodes[0].InnerText; cont = cont.Replace(Environment.NewLine, "
");` – Dhara Jun 08 '15 at 08:01
it shows `Exception Details: System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The handle is invalid Source Error: An unhandled exception was generated during the execution of the current web request. Information regarding the origin and location of the exception can be identified using the exception stack trace below. ` – Dhara Jun 08 '15 at 08:11
@debin How do you this `cont`? Can you, please, post the whole controller or action code? – Yeldar Kurmangaliyev Jun 08 '15 at 08:13
PLEASE SEE MY UPDATED QUESTION – Dhara Jun 08 '15 at 08:16
I am still getting text in single line. – Dhara Jun 08 '15 at 09:01
