For an HTML text box

<input type="text" maxlength="4" runat="server" id="txt1" />

For an asp.net text box

<asp:TextBox ID="txt1" runat="server" MaxLength="4"></asp:TextBox>

Use the 'maxLength' property.

<asp:textbox maxlength="4" runat="server" />

Full msdn documentation on the property: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.textbox.maxlength(v=VS.100).aspx

<asp:TextBox ID="textBox1" runat="server" MaxLength="4"></asp:TextBox>
