How To Make a "Enter" key by C# in ASP.net

I wrote this code in C#: 

using (StreamWriter streamWriter = File.CreateText(@"C:\File.Html"))
{
    streamWriter.WriteLine(TextBox2.Text);
}

This code opens File.Html and copies the value of TextBox2 But When I open File.Html all characters are on one line, even though there were multple lines of text in the TextBox. How do I get the newline characters to show up in the file?

Try

streamWriter.WriteLine(TextBox2.Text.Replace(Environment.NewLine, "<br/>"));

Or you wrap the output in pre ("preformatted") tags:

streamWriter.WriteLine("<pre>" + TextBox2.Text + "</pre>");

New lines in HTML are ignored by default. This is why you are not seeing the results you expect to. In order to insert a newline, you need to replace \n, which stands for newline, with <br />, which is the line break equivalent in HTML.

You can also use File.WriteAllText instead, avoid having to create new object and dispose it.

You do need to replace new lines with <br /> as suggested above.
