If I understood you well, you didn't understood CodeProject...Here we try to help people who stuck with there code, but I can't see any code here...

Actually Sir, that's why I'm stuck basically all I have is the multiline textbox, what I'm looking for is a way for a function to identity a tag like "@" or "#" so that it will know that I'm looking for a word. Like in facebook where when you want to tag something just start with the @ sign. So there, all I can post is my aspx page, but it's pretty useless since its just a design there's no code behind.

Actually you have a very little chance someone here will give you code 'out-of-the-box', so you better start search and design your solution - any solution - than put some code together. With that code come back here and we will do our best to help you!

You probably want to do some research on Regular Expressions.
MSDN .NET Framework Regular Expressions[^]
The 30 Minute Regex Tutorial[^]

Then you can use Regex.Match[^] to search for your placeholders or smart tags.

Hope this helps.
