Someone asked about adding attributes  specifically   rows  and  cols    If you re using Razor  you could just do this    Html TextAreaFor model   gt  model Text  new   cols   35   rows   3      That works for me  The     is used to escape keywords so they are treated as variables properties

You could use the  DataType  attribute on your view model like this   public class MyViewModel        DataType DataType MultilineText       public string Text   get  set        and then you could have a controller   public class HomeController   Controller       public ActionResult Index                 return View new MyViewModel               and a view which does what you want    model AppName Models MyViewModel  using  Html BeginForm           Html EditorFor x   gt  x Text       lt input type  submit  value  OK    gt
