You can add a watermark to a Textbox (multiline or not) that works pretty well by drawing it in different controls Paint event. For Example:

    Private Sub Panel1_Paint(sender As Object, e As PaintEventArgs) Handles Panel1.Paint
        If TextBox1.Text = "" Then
            TextBox1.CreateGraphics.DrawString("Enter Text Here", Me.Font, New SolidBrush(Color.LightGray), 0, 0)
        End If
    End Sub
