Accepted answer
Ignoring the LinkButton point (which is a mystery), I think the way you're doing this is fine.

The only thing to remember with the multi-line textbox is that it uses Environment.NewLine (which is "\r\n" on Windows) to break up lines. If you want to assign the multi-line text to a Literal control, then you need to replace these characters with
tags so that it will render correctly.

Yes,I do this and it display in multiple lines,one of solusion to aviod a problem with literal is put the text in label and get a label weight and height.
under this, link button displayed fine,this solution is fine for me because the paragraf may be fixed in design of page.
thank you very much for you engagment and your speed of answers.

good day
I wont to do litlle cms for practice,
in one page put some text from multi line textbox in txt.file and in another page display this text from txt.file in literal or label
The value is irrelevant,must be a text.
If you have another sugestion for do this I be grateful because I am a beginner in asp and sorry for my english.

Better you must share some more information like the source file and also the values from text files...

I was thinking before that the Literal control might permit child controls but in fact it doesn't.

So there must be some other reason why the LinkButton is getting overwritten by the text though, sorry, I can't think of anything else at present.

When I tried it myself, it just moved down the page - no matter how much text I put in the Literal - as you'd expect it to do.

no I make a new

and

and dont display.
I think do in this way,what you mean?and how to put data in literal?

List list = new List(); using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader("file.txt")) {     string line;     while ((line = reader.ReadLine()) != null)     { list.Add(line); // Add to list. Console.WriteLine(line); // Write to console.

It sounds like the LinkButton is being overwritten by the text in the Literal control.

Perhaps you've inadvertently placed the LinkButton inside the Literal control rather than outside it?

this work but I have one question?
I have one link button under this literal and this is not display anymore,
if I put this link button upper literal then is work fine.
can you explane to me and thank you .

See if this is any better:

Literal1.Text = txt.Replace("\r\n", "
");
