Problem in displaying Password in the DataGrid Control

[Guest]

Hi all,
I have a datagrid and textboxes as columns. But when i say the textbox
property as PASSWORD the * (stars) does not display in the password text box
at runtime.
But when it is a normal textbox the text gets displayed in the control.

I will be happy if someone can answer this problem.
Thanks in advance

That's by design. The password textbox doesn't refill the value.

You can defeat the protection by adding the password as a "value" attribute.

Private Sub Page_Load _
(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
Handles MyBase.Load
TextBox1.Attributes.Add("value", "thePassword")
End Sub


<asp:textbox id="TextBox1" runat="server"
textmode="Password"></asp:textbox></p>

Thanks for your answer.
But as I told that my textboxes are bound to the DataGrid control. should I
set the text boxes attributes in the datafill function everytime from the
code behind.
Thanks.
