Wpf: How to use PasswordBox with DataBinding

Luzius posted on Sunday, May 03, 2009

Hi all,

I have a UserEditDialog which should also contain a PasswordBox to enter the user's password. Of course I'd like to use DataBinding to bind all controls to my UserEdit BO.

Unfortunalely, for security concerns, it's impossible to bind the Password property of the PasswordBox.

Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

Does anyone know how to tweak TextBox to display just * instead of the real text? (I know, this is a security risk, but I'm willing to take it.)

Thanks Luzius
