Hello,
Iam developing a application in .NET 2.0 Framework.
I have a multiline text-box and the user can enter anything but should not be able to use 'Enter' or 'carriage Return' . How to disable this for the text- box?
Any suggestion would be helpful.

How do you need new lines to be created instead of using enter? Is there something else you want the enter key to do, other than being ignored and other than creating a new line?
