MaxLength Property

  • Article

Returns the maximum number of characters allowed in the text box. The default value is 0, meaning that there is no limit on the length.

public int MaxLength {
   get,
   set
}

Example

The following example demonstrates how to use the MaxLength property to limit the number of characters that can be written in a TextBox control.

Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

If Not IsPostBack Then
   txtUserName.MaxLength = 9
   txtUserPwd2.MaxLength = 7

End If

End Sub

[C#]

void Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   if(!IsPostBack)
   {
     txtUserName.MaxLength = 9;
     txtUserPwd2.MaxLength = 7;
   }
}
