Add text in @Html.TextAreaFor MVC 4

I need to create the textarea field at my form 

 <textarea class="img-shadow" cols="20" id="Message" name="Message" rows="2">Message</textarea>

I write code 

  @Html.TextAreaFor(model => model.Message, new { @class = "img-shadow" })

but I get empty textarea without any text

 <textarea class="img-shadow" cols="20" id="Message" name="Message" rows="2"></textarea>

How can I add text in?

In Controller Write

ModelVariable.Message= Server.HtmlDecode(ModelVariable.Message);

@Html.TextAreaFor(model => model.Message, new { @class = "img-shadow" })

It has worked for me

you add the default value into it.. by 

@Html.TextAreaFor(model => model.Message, new { @class = "img-shadow",@value = "added text" })

After much scratching around I managed to get it done this way.

@{ var _address="Line 1\nLine 2\n Line 3"; }

@Html.TextArea(Model.xxxx , new { id="address" } )
<script>
var x = @Html.Raw(Json.Encode( _address )) ;
document.getElementById("address").value = x;
</script>

If you haven't any control characters like newline \n you can replace var x=@Html...... with var x = "Text" ;

The content of the text box will be whatever the value of model.Message is.

This should be set in your Action method in the Controller, and passed to the View

public ViewResult ActionName() {
    var model = new ViewModel(); 
    model.Message = "Text Area Content"; 
    return View(model); 
}

As a test just output model.Message in the View, it will be empty. 

 <p>@Model.Message</p>

Then @Html.TextAreaFor(model => model.Message, new { @class = "img-shadow" }) will output

 <textarea class="img-shadow" cols="20" id="Message" name="Message" rows="2">Text Area Content</textarea>

@Html.TextAreaFor(model => model.Message, new { @class = "img-shadow", value = "added text" })

But If you initialize your model in controller Get method, then it will add text to your textarea, automaticly.
