hi..i'm new in using ASP.NET application. Please guide me as i've only about 30% knowledge on developing web application in .NET
ok..my problem is..
i have a textbox..
i wanted user to create multiple option by entering each option per line in the textbox...
in other words..if user want to enter 4 option, 1st option will be at 1st line, 2nd option at 2nd line....and so on..
so..when i create button "Submit"..it will automatically assume that data in the first line will be inserted to first row in table in my database...
can this be done? please somebody help me...

Consider using a ListBox web control.
1. You supply the options for the user to choose rather than free type (free text is always a validation headache for you to keep sh** out of your db)
2. ListBox has a multiselect mode (user can use shift or ctrl key to select more than one option if you set the property to true)
3. You can iterate the ListBox as it implements IEnumarable, which has gotta be easier than parsing a fat wedge of text from a textarea (which is what a multiline textbox is rendered as to the client)
Example code:
the aspx page
