Re: remove PasswordChar

Yah...

Char is a value type, so it must have something to put in its memory block.
Null is not an option; it's a place in memory where Reference types can
point to, only to tell the system that they "don't point anywhere".  It has
no value in itself, thus cannot be copied in a value type's memory block.

I don't understand exactly why your char cannot receive the '' value, but
that is working: TextBox1.PasswordChar = New Char();

Have fun,
Dave.

Subject: [DOTNET-WINFORMS] remove PasswordChar

I can't seem to figure out how to programmatically change the
PasswordChar property of a textbox to remove the password character.  It
can't be set to '' or a compile error occurs.  Same if setting to null.
I know I can set it easily in the properties window but now, for my own
curiousity, I would like to know how to remove the password character.
