MVC TextArea - Stack Overflow PDF

This document is a Stack Overflow post from 2010 discussing how to size a text area and assign a model value to it in ASP.NET MVC. The post received multiple answers providing examples of using Html.TextAreaFor() and passing parameters for rows and columns, as well as using annotations to bind properties in the model to generate the text area. Later comments discussed issues with using TextAreaFor and instead recommended using the TextArea helper directly.

Try this:

34 <%=Html.TextAreaFor(
m => m.Descrip
new RouteValue

Edit:
This wont work as far
as I know

<%=Html.TextAreaFor(m

because of this:

private const int Text


private const int Text

Assuming you have a


strongly typed view to
9 some model class you
could use the
following:

<%= Html.TextAreaFor(x

or:

<%= Html.TextAreaFor(x

Example 1 :

@Html.TextAreaFor(m =
control",@value="Tft.W

Example 1 wont raise


exception and wont
show any text. Let it
down.

Solution :

use @Html.TextArea
instead

Example 2:

@Html.TextArea("Langua
40, new { @class = "fo

Advice :

You should let down


Aspx too because
Razor is lighter and
equivalent syntax.

Just use @ instead of


<%= %>.
