You are not using a  NET control for your text area  Either add runat  server  to the HTML TextArea control or use a  NET control   Try this    lt asp TextBox id  TextArea1  TextMode  multiline  Columns  50  Rows  5  runat  server    gt    Then reference it in your codebehind   message Body   TextArea1 Text

First make sure you have the runat  server  attribute in your textarea tag like this   lt textarea id  TextArea1  cols  20  rows  2  runat  server  gt  lt  textarea gt    Then you can access the content via   string body   TextArea1 value

Missed property runat  server  or in code use Request Params  TextArea1

You need to use runat  server  like this    lt textarea id  TextArea1  cols  20  rows  2  runat  server  gt  lt  textarea gt    You can use the runat server attribute with any standard HTML element  and later use it from codebehind
