You can use a Validator control to check the length. You can either use a
RegularExpressi onValidator or a CustomValidator and provide your own script
file to check the length of.

I have a textbox with TextMode set to MultiLine. I also have the MaxLength set to 255. This maxlength value seems to get ignored as the user can enter unlimited characters. Does the multiline textbox not support maxlength? How can I make the work? TIA

As we probably know, the MaxLength property of the TextBox control only works when the TextMode property is SingleLine or Password. I want to limit the number of characters a user can enter into a MultiLine TextBox to 250. I figured the best way to do this would be with a RegularExpressionValidator. For my ValidationExpression I figured I would use: ..{0,250} However, the . does not include the \n character. On the page:
