how to mask an input

[niv]

Hello,

I have a textbox that users enter their password into..
the problem is that i want the password to be masked with
a asterisk.

How can I do this and also still be able to read the input
like so.

string x;
x = TextBox1.Text;

I dont want x to have asterisks..
Thanks in advance ;)

Hi niv,

You are going to love this! In your <asp:textbox> tag put this:

TextMode="Password"

For example:

<asp:textbox id="txtPassword" Runat="server"
TextMode="Password"></asp:textbox>

Good luck! Ken.

Simply change the TextMode property of the TextBox to Password.
