bound password field is blank?

[Guest]

why is the password field blank in dot.net 2.0? and how can i get it to mask?

Text value cannot be set to server-side password fields from server-side.
One workaround is to use ASP style assignment for a password type input
element:

<input type="password" ID="pwd" name="pwd" value="<%= pwdValue %>" />

In code-behind:
protected string pwdValue = <data from the databae>;

you can also use this style:

MyPasswordControl.Attributes["value"] = "some password"

you're using SSL on this page right?!
