How can I restric a multirow textbox's text length, Max Length doesn't seem
to really do anything. I want the user to not be able to type, say more that
300 chars.

TIA!

You'll need to use javascript to accomplish this.

Hi TCORDON

         Here are the steps to restrict the text lenght multirow textbox's
while the user types.

Step 1 : Add the Attribute Property to the multirow textbox Control Id
         If your multirow textbox's Id is "txtAddress"

         Me.txtAddress.Attributes.add("onclick","return CheckLenght();")

         in the Code behind (Means aspx.vb file)

Step 2 : <Script Language=Javascript>

function CheckLenght()
  {
    var strLenght = document.getElementById("txtAddress").value.length;
   return (strLenght <= 300)
}
