It you're in ASP, use a literal control. If you're creating an application you can use a WebBrowser control. Looks the same as a large textbox, but can accept html formatting.

If you dont have to EDIT the displayed formatted text, its easy use a literal control, but if you have to be able to change the info, you would need a control that can handle html.

I use FreeTextBox, but there are many.
Be aware of the dangers of allowing HTML to be edited in your page.... this is a weakspot that hackers love...
(you have to set validaterequest=false in each page that contains a HTML edit control Bert

You might also look into extending the TextBox control to allow HTML syntax formatting and highlighting. I don't know how difficult or easy this might be, but it would certainly be an interesting learning experience. If you're not looking to "roll your own" then probably one of @Pranay's suggestions is your best bet.
