Solution 2

C#

<textarea id="foo" runat="server"></textarea>

Then use this propriety InnerText
and for applying HTML tags use InnerHtml

C#

foo.InnerText = "  ";

Thank you Mohamed Mitwalli but that html page is already hosted with this "textarea" tag.

<textarea id="foo"></textarea>

So I cannot modify the page,is there any other way to set the text to textarea?
