I'm binding a Gridview to a DataTable.  I want to display the Gridview cells 
with multiline values.  In populating the data for the DataTable, I use 
Environment.Newline but the data doesn't display in Gridview as multiline:

newRow[myDataColumn.Ordinal] = diff.ToString("N")+ Environment.Newline + 
pct.ToString("P");

Look at your source code output and I would hazard a guess that your newline 
isn't being rendered as <br>, which in html would create a newline.  If I 
recall correctly, you can only do this using templatefields, so have a read 
of a few tutorials like this one to start:
