Multiline TextBox/Input Field In ASP.NET Core MVC

Question

To make multi line input field, Like ASP.NET MVC I have tried the following but didn't work in ASP.NET Core MVC:

public class Post
{
   [DataType(DataType.MultilineText)]
   public string Body { get; set; }
}

In the view:

<input asp-for="Body"  rows="40" class="form-control"/>

Any Suggestion will be highly appreciated!!

There is an open issue in ASP.NET Core tooling repo.

The suggested workaround is to use

@Html.EditorFor(m => m.Body, additionalViewData: new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control" }})

or

<textarea asp-for="Body" class="form-control"></textarea>
