Hi there, I guess that you come from the world of the window-based applications since the TextBox[^] web control does not support the Tag property. Basically, the Tag property of the TextBox window control is used to store data so that it can be accessed quickly, however, the Texbox instance of the web page will be disposed after the life cycle of the request is finished so the ASP.NET provides a couple of options[^] that you might consider to maintain the web page state.

Hi, You can either use Tool Tip property or Text property of the text box.Both of the property can be set at design time. I hope,it will help you out. Regards, Abhiram Agarwal Software Engineer India
