A have a field in one of my database tables that contains text with carriage returns. I need to bind this (read only) to a UI control to show these comments to the user on the page. What control or technique should I use? I tried < asp:TextBox > with a wide width and tall height, but it does honor the carriage returns.

The text in the table field is like this:

1. Information / Comment number one will go here.
2. Then, Information / Comment number two will go here.
3. And, Again, Information / Comment number three will go here.
4. And so on...

I manually edit this data as an admin when I add the record, then I need to show it like plain text on a page when the user is viewing the record.

Also, what is the proper data type to make this field in the table? Right now it is a type called "ntext", and I'm not even sure why it is that type. This data was given to me by the customer in Access, and I upsized it into SQL Server. I can change the type however I need to, so what is best for this case?
