This is my code:
<div class="editor-label"> @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Comments[0].Comment) </div> <div class="editor-field"> @Html.EditorFor(model => model.Comments[0].Comment) @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Comments[0].Comment) </div> This is what it generates:
<div class="editor-label"> <label for="Comments_0__Comment">Comment</label> </div> <div class="editor-field"> <input class="text-box single-line" data-val="true" data-val-required="The Comment field is required." id="Comments_0__Comment" name="Comments[0].Comment" type="text" value="" /> <span class="field-validation-valid" data-valmsg-for="Comments[0].Comment" data-valmsg-replace="true"></span> </div> How do I tell it that the field should be a text box with five lines instead of just a single-line text box?

Enter or fill the textbox with multiple rows of text. Choose the corresponding option from the property panel to update the multiline textbox. The Multiline Textbox is used to edit or display multiple lines of text that helps you to accept address, description, comments, feedbacks, and more in a form.
Show activity on this post. TextBoxFor: It will render like text input html element corresponding to specified expression. In simple word it will always render like an input textbox irrespective datatype of the property which is getting bind with the control. EditorFor: This control is bit smart.
ASP.NET MVC includes the method that generates HTML input elements based on the datatype. The Html. Editor() or Html. EditorFor() extension methods generate HTML elements based on the data type of the model object's property.
You can concatenate the string in asp:label with "<br/>" because it will result in html. If you don't specific the width of label, it will auto expand the width to fit your string.
Use data type 'MultilineText':
[DataType(DataType.MultilineText)] public string Text { get; set; } See ASP.NET MVC3 - textarea with @Html.EditorFor

in your view, instead of:
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.Comments[0].Comment) just use:
@Html.TextAreaFor(model => model.Comments[0].Comment, 5, 1, null) If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
