An ASP.NET <asp:textbox> control is rendered in two ways based on the mode:

single line: <input type="text">
multiline: <textarea>

The <textarea> HTML control does not support the maxlength property.

Well this issue has been raised many times, you can use javascript functions to restrict user entering text upto the length specified.

and check on posting the sting length
