I have to display the system password character in a DataGridView using DataGridviewTextboxColumn.

I want to bind to the password character when I prepare the grid.

VB.NET

Dim dc As DataGridViewTextBoxColumn

dc = New DataGridViewTextBoxColumn
dc.HeaderText = "Card"
dc.Name = "card"
dc.DataPropertyName = "Cradname"
dc.MaxInputLength = 16
dc.Width = 150
gdvCollection.Columns.Insert(gdvCollection.Columns.Count - 1, dc)
dc = New DataGridViewTextBoxColumn
dc.Name = "Card1"
dc.HeaderText = "Cardname1"
dc.MaxInputLength = 16
dc.Width = 150
'If gdvCollection.Columns.Count = 9 Then gdvCollection.Columns.Remove("VeriyCCNo")
gdvCollection.Columns.Insert(gdvCollection.Columns.Count - 1, dc)
gdvCollection.Columns("Card").SortMode = DataGridViewColumnSortMode.NotSortable
gdvCollection.Columns("Card1").SortMode = DataGridViewColumnSortMode.NotSortable

What do you mean by "system password character".

Do you mean that when someone types data into the column it must be hidden and look like "*******"?

If so you will need to make a custom DataGridColumnStyle class

Your class will have to inherit from either the DataGridColumnStyle class or one of the existing classes like DataGridTextBox class.

There are examples of custom DataGridColumnStyles in codeproject DataGrid ColumnStyle as LinkLabel.

And MSDN articles on how to do that.
