Help needed in ASP.Net 2.0 Text Box Password Mode

[SenthilVel]

hi all,
i am running a ASP.Net 2.0 application.
in one of the pages i have a text box which is set as PASSWORD mode.
when the page is submitted or transfered , am not able to get the contents
of this textbox which is in Password mode.

do we need to any more apart from setting to password mode to get the value
present in the text box..?

do we need to do anything in specific with the viewstates if there is
security with ASP.Net Password text boxes?

Please let me know

Thanks
Senthil

A password box acts as normal, are you referring to the fact that the box
isn't pre-populated after a postback? If so then add a VALUE attribute to
it with the value of txtYourPassword Box.Text

Is your password textbox created programatically ?
Check this.

As Aidy said, this can be about PostBack problems. For example in your
Page_Load code

protected void Page_Load(objec t sender, EventArgs e)
{
// .. some other c# codes
txtPassword.Tex t = "";
// .. some other c# codes
}
When postback the current value will be lost, so you have to control it like
protected void Page_Load(objec t sender, EventArgs e)
{
// .. some other c# codes
if(!Page.IsPost Back)
txtPassword.Tex t = "";
// .. some other c# codes
}

in one of the blogs i saw a solution like :

setting txtbox.attribut es("value") = txtbox.text
this was added in the preresender event of the text box...

Question: Is this a limitation with the textbox that we need to this step
maunally ?
is this a security feature ?

Hi,

No we don't need to set viewstate.
If you have a textbox like this

<asp:TextBox id="txtPass" runat="server" TextMode="Passw ord" />

you can get its value by
txtPass.Text property.

You don't need to anything more..

hi,

i did the same way as u were saying ..just have the <asp:TextBox
id="txtPass" runat="server" TextMode="Passw ord" />

But once a post back is happeining or when the value in the text boz is
accessed in a button click event , still the password is null !!

am not able to get the password value !!
do we need to do something like this ?

ViewState["Pwd"]=TextBox1.Text
TextBox1.Attrib utes.Add("value ", ViewState["Pwd"].ToString ()) ;
