Try this:

34 <%=Html.TextAreaFor(
m => m.Descrip
new RouteValue

Edit:
This wont work as far
as I know

<%=Html.TextAreaFor(m

because of this:

private const int Text

private const int Text

Assuming you have a

strongly typed view to
9 some model class you
could use the
following:

<%= Html.TextAreaFor(x

or:

<%= Html.TextAreaFor(x

Example 1 :

@Html.TextAreaFor(m =
control",@value="Tft.W

Example 1 wont raise

exception and wont
show any text. Let it
down.

Solution :

use @Html.TextArea
instead

Example 2:

@Html.TextArea("Langua
40, new { @class = "fo

Advice :

You should let down

Aspx too because
Razor is lighter and
equivalent syntax.

Just use @ instead of

<%= %>.
