Hi,
I have a quick question.
I have a webpage allow user to modify his/her information. When I
generate the form, I want to pre-load the information to the
TextBoxes. But for the password (and confirm password) textbox, the
text can't be loaded (the TextBoxes are empty, no "dot" in them). I
checked inside Page_Load the text is loaded, but when the page is
render, the data is flushed.
I read some ASP code that in ASP this won't happen, you just do:
<input type="password" name="vcPasswor d" value="<%=vcPas sword%>">
Please Help

You're not supposed to set the text of a password field from the server
because it's unsecure. That's why it didn't show up; it's prevented as a
security precaution. (The password would be plain text to anybody who views
the source of the page.)
However there is a workaround if you are willing to accept this risk.
Here's the simplest example I've seen:
MyPWTextBox.Att ributes.Add("va lue", strPassWord)

I hope this helps,

It's a security issue. If you want your applications to be secure you should
only store hashed password values so you will never be able to know the
original password. And in any case you should not be sending passwords to
anybody, not even the original user.

In my mysql database, I've stored all the passwords using the PASSWORD()

I am trying something very simple, to pass the contents of a form (just

For example,

For a HTTP textbox with a Type of "password", the default
behaiver is that the field will be cleared out when the
page is posted back. This make sense in most of the cases.
But in some situation, it become problematic. In our
asp.net applicaiton, I would like to keep the password in
the field, if the page is posted back. Is this possible?
how?
Thanks

Hello,
i have a Asp.net V2 login page with a password to enter.
In some case, a user could forget and tell IE to save its password :
How to prevent it ?
Is there a way to disable it ? to block it ?
Or could i create a button that save another text (replace) the cached
password ? the user will be prompted to click the button to remove its
cached password .... how to do it ?

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
