Name of plain text page property

Vote:

This is perhaps a very basic question but I can't seem to figure it out. What data type do you use when you need a plain textbox page property in code? I don't want any formatting, no p/div tags added between line breaks, just a multiline textbox.

Just use a string property with uihint textarea.

For example

[Display(            
Name = "Heading",            
Description = "",            
GroupName = SystemTabNames.Content,            
Order = 10)]        
[UIHint(UIHint.Textarea)]
public virtual string Heading { get; set; }

Good luck!
