I have a password entry box declared like so:<BR><asp:TextBox Id="txtUserPassword" TextMode="Password" Runat="Server" /><BR><BR>I have another control on the pages that causes the page to auto post back to itself.<BR><BR>What do I need to do to enable the View State of the password box?<BR><BR>I've tried adding the EnableViewState="True" to the <asp:Textbox> tag.<BR><BR>I've tried the following code in both the Page_Load and Page_PreRender events:<BR> Public Sub Page_PreRender(oSender As Object, oEventArgs As EventArgs)<BR> If Page.IsPostBack Then<BR> txtUserPassword.Text = txtUserPassword.Text<BR> End If<BR> End Sub<BR><BR>Any idea? I'm out of them.<BR><BR>I'm using ASP.NET, v1.0, SP1 on a Win2k Pro machine.Hmmm..<BR><BR><BR>Can you add it manually? <BR><BR>ViewState("Password") = txtUserPassword.TextDo you mind throwing a sample together to see if it works for you? (Wow, I just HATE asking someone to do that.)<BR><BR>I've tried in both the Page_Load and Page_PreRender events:<BR>ViewState("Password") = txtUserPassword.Text <BR>ViewState("txtUserPassword") = txtUserPassword.Text<BR>ViewState("txtUserPassword.Text") = txtUserPassword.Text<BR><BR>No errors, it just doesn't pre-populate the textboxes.<BR><BR>Any ideas?What I wanted it to. Just to show you what I was thinking...<BR>Here's an example. However, it sttill doesn't want to populate the password box. It's maintaining the value in ViewState (you can see that by the label)...But that's it. I let you know if I come across anything...<BR><BR><script runat="server"><BR> Sub Page_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)<BR> If Page.IsPostBack<BR> lblMessage.Text = "You entered your username and password!"<BR> ViewState("UserPassword") = txtUserPassword.Text <BR> lblPassword.Text = ViewState("UserPassword")<BR> Else<BR> lblMessage.Text = "Please enter your username and password!"<BR> End If<BR> End Sub<BR></script><BR><BR><html><body><BR><asp:Label<BR> id="lblMessage" runat="server" /><BR> <p><BR><asp:Label<BR> id="lblPassword" runat="server" /><BR> <p><BR><form runat="server"><BR><BR><BR>Username:<BR><BR><BR><asp:TextBox<BR> id="txtUsername"<BR> runat="server" /><BR><p><BR>Password:<BR><BR> <BR><asp:TextBox<BR> id="txtUserPassword"<BR> TextMode="Password"<BR> Text=ViewState("UserPassword")<BR> runat="server" /><BR> <BR><p><BR><asp:Button<BR> Text="Submit"<BR> runat="server" /><BR></form><BR></body><BR></html>http://www.gotdotnet.com/community/messageboard/Thread.aspx?id=12624&Page=1#12624Thanks for trying to help - it really ate me up asking you to throw together a sample. 
Glad you got it sorted. That's one I'll have to remember.
