Please clarify your question.

"enter Password format"? Do you want to change the label text at runtime?

Solution 2

Why would you want a password format label? The user can't enter it, he can't read it, but is would be completely insecure since a right click and "view source" would show the password as clear text to anyone who wanted to use it.

I noticed you want it "like a textbox" so it isn't for user input - what are you trying to achieve that you think this will solve your problem? There may be a better way to do that.

I agree with you totally. However, if he just wants to show how many characters there are int the password(again, this is stupid), the above method will work and is secure.

Solution 3

If you are planning to show password of textbox to label using UseSystemPassword = true, then it can be retrieved very easily just as OrginalGriff said above.

unless you do this: though i am not sure how much secure is it

C#

foreach(char ch in textBox1.Text.ToCharArray())
{
label1.Text += "*";
}

Done using VS2005

I dont know why you would want this?? Anyway, create new User Control and add a label on it, then, in the code behind add a Text property:

C#

private string _text = string.empty;
public string Text
{
    get
    {
        return _text;
    }
    set
    {
        _text = value;
        lblMyLabel.Text = "";
        foreach(char c in value)
            lblMyLabel.Text += "*";
    }
}

Then you just add that user control to your page I guess! Thats if I am understanding your question.
