I'm trying to learn ASP.NET MVC4. Some if these concepts are new to me. My question today is:

How do I control the amount of rows and cols in a form when I use @Html.TextArea()

Here's my code if it helps, but it is a pretty general question

<div id="contact-form">
    @using(Html.BeginForm()) 
    {
        @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Name)<br />
        @Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Name)<br />
        @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Name)<br />
    
        @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Phone)<br />
        @Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Phone)<br />    
        @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Phone)<br />
    
        @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Email)<br />
        @Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Email)<br />
        @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Email)<br />
    
        @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Comments)<br />
        @Html.TextAreaFor(model => model.Comments, new { rows= 10, columns= 40 })<br />
        @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Comments)<br />
    
        <button type="submit">SEND</button> 
        <button type="reset">CLEAR</button> 
    }
    
</div>

Thanks
