In textbox the wrap is done by a new line character (\r\n). But html doesn't understand the wrap by a new line char. It is doe by <br />. So you need to wrap by
<div style="widht:220px;display
<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.
</div>
In certain cases the above will not work. The replacement is below
<div style="widht:220px;display
<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.
</div>
