Txtbox with multiline --> & MAXLENGTH?

Is it possible to make the textbox's maxlength set to a value you like when you use multiline?

If not i think that's not at all handy, specialy not when using a database.

Can someone help?

The problem is that multiline and maxlength don't work togheter.

It's or multiline or maxlength. You can put multiline and a maxlength but the maxlength propertie then stops working!

I've just made a validation afterwards before writing to the database. It looks like this

If txtOmschrijving.Text.Length > 175 Then
lblTekens.Visible = True
lblTekens.Text = "Geef minder dan 175 tekens in a.u.b."
Exit Sub
Else

where lblTekens is a sort of errorfield like a validator field
it is hidden afterwards, when the field is validated again and has less then 175 characters.

When I set the MultiLine property to true & changed the number
in the Maxlength property, it restricted the number of characters,
regardless of the MultiLine property being true.
Where exactly do you have the validation code?
