Question

microsoft.sharepoint.webcontrols.inputformtextbox does not contain defination for lines

Answer 1

You should use Text property of the InputFormTextBox control, and parse the first two lines manually. It's quite easy actually, something like this:

var firstTwoLines = String.Join("\n", MyRichTextBox.Text.Split('\n').Take(2).ToArray());
