title: Cannot set default text for @Html.TextAreaFor?
body: <p>I am not able to set default text for <code>@HTML.TextAreaFor</code></p>
  
  <p>This is all I tried, but didn't work, it always shows empty text area</p>
  
  <pre><code>@Html.TextAreaFor(m =&gt; m.EmployeeDescription, new {  @Text = ViewBag.Model.EmployeeDescription })
  
  @Html.TextAreaFor(m =&gt; m.EmployeeDescription, new {  @text = ViewBag.Model.EmployeeDescription })
  
  @Html.TextAreaFor(m =&gt; m.EmployeeDescription, new {  @Value = ViewBag.Model.EmployeeDescription })
  
  @Html.TextAreaFor(m =&gt; m.EmployeeDescription, new {  @value = ViewBag.Model.EmployeeDescription })
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Exactly same thing is working for <code>@Html.TextBoxFor</code> with <code>@Value</code> but not with <code>TextArea</code> :(</p>
  
  <p>Can anybody help...</p>
