For MultiLine TextBox MaxLength wont work

So try this way,

.aspx

<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
        <asp:TextBox ID="txtString" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
        <asp:Label ID="lblErrorMessage" runat="server" Text="Label"></asp:Label>
    </div>
    </form>
</body>

.cs

if (txtString.Text.Length > 160)
        {
            lblErrorMessage.Text = "String maximum length must be below 2000 characters";
        }

Let me know if any Q?

Have a look at this http://forums.asp.net/p/1597649/4055931.aspx

The maxlength does not work on multiline textboxes by design. You can create javascript functions to check the length client side, but these will fail if the user turns off javascript, and often do not take into account a user pasting data into the field.

Hi svibuk,

Maxlength doesnt work for Text Area i.e. for textbox with multiline =true

in aspx page:

<asp:TextBox ID="txtArea" runat="server" TextMode="MultiLine"></asp:TextBox>

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

javascript function in <script> tag as:

function maxCharLength(t) {

            if (t.value.length >= 10)

                return false;

        }

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

in codebehind in page load event:

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.PreInit
        txtArea.Attributes.Add("onkeypress", "return maxCharLength(this);")

    End Sub

And ur done!!!!!!!!!

Happy Programming

U are using Master Page-Content Page i think, in such case u need to use ClientID for every server controls in document.getElementByID function

so ur this line: document.getElementById("limit")

needs to b changed like:

document.getElementById('<%= limit.ClientID %>') , for c# it is case sensetive and for Vb.net it is not.

if ur using framework 4.0, u can make setting in web.config. so that while rendering id of server controls will remain same and will not change.
