You can find the work and replace it with html code.

Like

string str = TextBox1.Text.Replace("my", "<font color=\"red\">my</font>");

Hope this will give you some idea.

Thanks

You cannot display HTML or formated tag in the TextArea.
Reason:
An html textarea tag will not render html.. it will only show text, so your html will not be rendered in the text area, it is not designed for that.
But,
You can formate the Label text using the Method provided by Raja.

Hi Abhi,
As I have already written that you cannot format the textarea. As it does not render the HTML control. You can provide the facility of Preview in a Label to the User.

Thanks,
