You want the text on your multi line highlighted through your code behind? If you want a code to select a text within a given start and end location, use Substring(index, length).

AFAIK, you can't do this in asp:TextBox control.
You will need to use RichTextBox[^].

I used http://freetextbox.com/[^] sometime back in one of my sample project. This will also do what you require. Take a look. :thumbsup:
