Masked Hidden Controls + Passwords...

[shahdu]

Hi,

Sorry but a little new to .NET. Am writing a small app as a front end to another system. Currently just trying to get the logon screen sorted.

I have a webform with a Hidden Text box. When the user clicks the logon button, i cannot grab the password from the Hidden control. I have tried request.forms("password") but to no avail.

Help please....I'm sure this is due to something I have not done...

I'm supposing that when you mean hidden, it means that when they type into the textbox it shows the dots...and not the letters?

Normally,...all you have to do is use the 'text' property of the control to get it.

For example: You call your text box txtPassword. Just use: YourVariable = txtPassword.text.

Hope this helps and I'm understanding what you were asking.

This looks like ASP.Net code instead of VB.Net.
