u try this code to make your password (*) in textbox

double click on textbox

in coding write

textbox1.Password = '*'; 

Thanks for ur response but the textbox that is there for user interface for custom installation does not have a property of password char which i can change to *

This is with ref to the installer.cs file where in we override install uninstall methods

Thanks in advance
Tracy

u can musk it in the time of coding only.Inspite of doing it in the installation time,u can musk it while u validating user and create setup.It will automatically mask the password. U can use ncrypt before saving into database and dcrypt while reading from database.

I have given the code below for your reference:

clsPwdCrypto objEncrypt = new clsPwdCrypto(); //'clsPwdCrypto' is the dll i have used for this purpose

if (objEncrypt.dCrypt(dr["usr_vch_Password"].ToString()).ToString() == txtPassword.Text)

{

 //reading from database

}

//Following code musk your password.

 

string ncrypta =(Convert.ToString(objEncrypt.nCrypt(txtPassword.Text)));

//Ur password now musk into string ncrypta. Save it in databse.
