Solution 1

TextBox has a property called MaxLength.
Set the value of this property to 140 and you are done.

But in case of multiline enabled MaxLength property does'nt work.

You didn't mention that before.
Oh wait.. Is it a windows application or a web application?
In case of web application, you can use simple Javascript to implement this or may use regular expression as well.
Here is a quick Google search link: http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source=hp&q=maxlength+multiline+textbox&aq=4&aqi=g10&aql=&oq=maxlength+&gs_rfai=&fp=57aa981c9ca75b88

Hope this helps!

Can't copy this link....
Better using regular expression...

Why can't you copy the link? You may alternatively search for "maxlength multiline textbox".
And I just noticed, are you using 2 id's. The question was asked by VinodKumar01 and the comments by aswathy.s.88
