Populating Password Text Fields w/ ASP.Net

[elhaix]

Given the following

<asp:TextBox ID="TxtPassword" runat="server" TextMode="Password" CssClass="input400"></asp:TextBox>

Then in my code behind LoadData() method I set TxtPassword.Text = dbStringValue, when the page loads, this field does not populate.

However, when I remove the TextMode="Password" it works just fine.

How can I get the password field to populate from the code behind?


Thanks.

This is a security feature build into .NET.

Try this as a work around:

TxtPassword.Attributes.Add("value", "Some Value");

Just bear in mind that anyone can then view source and see the value of the password field.
