using textbox with password mode inside edit template of datagrid

[kalyankrishna]

i am unable to use a password mode textbox inside
a datagrid's edit template.

i am right now showing password column in clear text
but have to change it... any ideas?

check the textmode property of the textbox

<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox runat=&quot;server&quot; TextMode=Password MaxLength=15 Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, &quot;DataItem.Given_Name&quot %>'>
</asp:TextBox>

</EditItemTemplate>

It is the TextMode=Password that is the critical bit

You will still have the problem that in the normal item template, the characters will be in plain text. If this is not what you want, may I suggest this
for the item template

<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label runat=&quot;server&quot; Text='<%# New String(&quot;*&quot;c, len(DataBinder.Eval(Container, &quot;DataItem.Given_Name&quot)) %>'>
</asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>

This just puts asteriks with the same length as the field

Hope this helps
