Jay,

It is possible, but you are going to have to create a custom data column
to do this. Take a look at the DataGridColumnStyle class, as well as the
DataGridTextBox class, which derives from that class (this is what displays
most data by default in the data grid).

Hope this helps.
 
I need to display a datagrid with user information including password, but I
would like the password to be masked with a password character. If the user
selects to edit the record, I need the password to show in normal text.

Is this possible with a datagrid?

Thank You for any help toward this end!
 
Are there any recent specific examples that you can point me to?

I downloaded an example but there was an error when I tried to open some of
the files.

This the link you provided sends me to a windows example. I'm using
ASP.NET. I tried some code using
DataGridTableStyle and the compiler did not recognize it. Are there any
ASP.NET code examples that you can point me to?

THANK YOU!
