Hi, brighteyes24379,

I tried to edit the code, but it is not getting formatted.

Please post the code again and remove this code.

In HTML, your end-of-line characters are insignificant (give the same effect as a single blank space character). To have the effect of end of line, use <br/>. And the garbage text at the end of your post is full of HTML character entities, which you also must know. You cannot do ASP.NET development without understanding of HTML (and a lot more).
