Dim value As TextBoxMode

instance.TextMode = value

public virtual TextBoxMode TextMode { get; set; }
[ThemeableAttribute(false)]

Use the TextMode property to specify whether a TextBox control is displayed as a single-line, multiline, or password text box.
When the TextBox control is in multiline mode, you can control the number of rows displayed by setting the Rows property. You can also specify whether the text should wrap by setting the Wrap property.
If the TextBox control is in password mode, all characters entered in the control are masked.
This property cannot be set by themes or style sheet themes. For more information, see ThemeableAttribute and ASP.NET Themes and Skins Overview.
The following code example demonstrates how to use the TextMode property to specify a multiline text box.

This example has a text box that accepts user input, which is a potential security threat. By default, ASP.NET Web pages validate that user input does not include script or HTML elements. For more information, see Script Exploits Overview. |
