Hello,

I have written an website where the user can edit small texts inside an asptextbox. I also enabled the textbox to use the tab-key inside the textbox. Trying to print these texts with pdfsharp I run into two Problems.

1) The crlf is ignored by the drawsting method
oGr.DrawString(sPrintString, fnV9, Brushes.Black, 20, iStart) simply writes one long line of text on the page.
I can solve these problem by spliting the text and print als n-Strings so this is my smaller problem.

2) The bigger problem is, the the size of the tabs is very small in the pdf output. So the print does not look like the text on the Website. I tryed to replace the tabs by spaces ( Chr(160) ) but if I use the messure string method I get a width of 0 for a space.
fsSize = oGr.MeasureString(Chr(160), fnV9, sfFormat)

I would be happy about every tip.

Thanks

The space character is Chr(32) or the string literal " " not Chr(160).

As far as replacing tabs go, I would figure out how many spaces they use up (usually 4 or 5) and use Strings.StrDup(CharCount, " ").
