Hi,
I have created a sample Login form with User ID ,Password and Login(Button).I have set the property for the 'Password' text box : PasswordChar = *.
Ideally when I enter the password it should reflect as * but still when I enter the password in UI I see the password as plain text.
Why is this happening?
How can I go about this issue?
Is it anything to do with the .net framework or the dll or exe formed for the UI form ?

If you are using a Standard-TextBox you only have to set the Property "PasswordChar" to the Placeholder you want - for example "*"

@Ralf Ya Ralf the Passwordchar is set to '*' but still I am able to view the password I enter as plain text. Why is that happening?
