Format text password style (*****)

[Felice]

I have a radGrid with a column which is password.
I would like the password filed in both edit and grid mode to hide the password with ********.

This is the column:

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="Password"  UniqueName="pass" DataField="pass" SortExpression="Pass">
                       <ItemTemplate>
                           <asp:Label ID="lblpass" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("pass")  %>' width="100px"></asp:Label>
                       </ItemTemplate>
                       <EditItemTemplate>
                           <telerik:RadTextBox ID="txtpass" Width="300px" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("pass") %>' >
                           </telerik:RadTextBox>
                       </EditItemTemplate>
                   </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

How can I achieve to apply such format to the password data?
Thanks,
Felice

Hello,

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="Name" UniqueName="Name" DataField="Name" SortExpression="Name">
                       <ItemTemplate>
                           <asp:Label ID="lblpass" runat="server" Text='<%# CustomMethod.ConvertIntoPassword(Convert.ToString(Eval("Name")))  %>' Width="100px"></asp:Label>
                       </ItemTemplate>
                       <EditItemTemplate>
                           <telerik:RadTextBox ID="txtpass" Width="300px" runat="server" Text='<%# CustomMethod.ConvertIntoPassword(Convert.ToString(Eval("Name")))  %>'>
                           </telerik:RadTextBox>
                       </EditItemTemplate>
                   </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

public static class CustomMethod
{
    public static string ConvertIntoPassword(string str)
    {
        string strPass = string.Empty;

        for (int i = 1; i < Convert.ToString(str).Length; i++)
            strPass += "*";

        return strPass;
    }
}

Let me know if any concern.

Thanks,

Hi Felice,

Please try the following code snippet. If it cause any issue, please provide your full code snippet.

ASPX:

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="Password" UniqueName="pass" DataField="Password">
<ItemTemplate>
    <asp:Label ID="lblpass" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Password")%>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
<EditItemTemplate>
    <telerik:RadTextBox ID="txtpass" Width="300px" runat="server" AutoPostBack="true" Text='<%# Bind("Password") %>' OnTextChanged="txtpass_TextChanged">
    </telerik:RadTextBox>
</EditItemTemplate>
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    //To change the password in * format in view mode
    if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
    {
        GridDataItem data = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
        Label lbl = (Label)data.FindControl("lblpass");
        string value = lbl.Text;
        lbl.Text = "";
        foreach (char c in value)
         lbl.Text += "*";
    }

    //To change the password in * format in edit mode
    if (e.Item is GridEditableItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
    {
        GridEditableItem edit = (GridEditableItem)e.Item;
        RadTextBox txt = (RadTextBox)edit.FindControl("txtpass");
        string value = txt.Text;
        txt.Text = "";
        foreach (char c in value)
       txt.Text += "*";
    }
}
protected void txtpass_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    //To change the password in * format after entering in textbox in editmode
    RadTextBox paswordtxt = (RadTextBox)sender;
    string value = paswordtxt.Text;
    paswordtxt.Text = "";
    foreach (char c in value)
   paswordtxt.Text += "*";
}
