Answer 1

use this:

<asp:TextBox id="TextArea1" TextMode="multiline" Columns="50" Rows="5" runat="server" />

Then you can access the content via:

string message= TextArea1.Text;

Answer 2

Dont fix the height of textbox. Height should be auto.And in css add property for textbox. It will work.

    word-wrap: break-word;

Answer 3

Try this :

string s = "Your Text Field";
        if (s.Length > 20)
        {
            //Change Width="450px"
        }

Update :

You can aslo change width in CSS when text length is more than the length of the field.

Update 2 :

You can resize the textbox in C# with the following codes :

        if (s.Length>20)
        {
            textBox1.TextChanged += textBox1_TextChanged;
        }

    void textBox1_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Size size = TextRenderer.MeasureText(textBox1.Text, textBox1.Font);
        textBox1.Width = size.Width;
    }
