Don`t know if i completely understand what you try to do ( because of the
text with the above subject )

You want to add a data control to a text area ?? (do you mean the contents
of a data column from your database )

Just set the multiline property of the textbox to true , set the apropriate
scroll behavior ( vertical perhaps ) now resize the textbox to the estimated
size wich might hold your data an ready you are ,,,, you can mimic the
behavior of a textarea control in html ( it would look like this
