Pay attention to the TextMode property, as well as Rows if you want to preset the number of rows

i have already mentioned:
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
but still getting that following error.
'System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox' does not contain a definition for 'Multiline' and no extension method 'Multiline' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Take a look at your question above, you have not mentioned this was about System.Web.UI.WebControls. It is only flagged as C# and my mind reading skills are a bit rusty
By using

textBox1.Multiline = true;


you can control the Multiline property of textbox

or check out this

u can use TextMode property,
if u want to change the at runtime then u can use as:
C#
TextBox1.TextMode = TextBoxMode.MultiLine;

If it is windows application then use Multiline Property of textbox
C#
textBox1.Multiline = true;


if web application then use TextMode property
C#
TextBox1.TextMode=TextBoxMode.MultiLine;
