Does anyone know how to limit the number of lines and/or the number of characters per line in a multiline textbox. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Limiting the number of lines for a multiline textbox

put some code in the KeyUp or perhaps textChanged event.
Check the overall length of the text using txtMyTextBox.Text.Length
For # of lines, you'd probably have to count the number of line feeds in the text property.
Though you could just set the MaxLength property to whatever you want your limit to be. Would probably be easier.
