Problem in retaining the password value

Hi All,

I am using Visual Studio .Net 2003.

I am working on Web applications using ASP.Net.

In UI design, I have textbox for username and password field, say txtUserName, txtPassword. And also UI Contains one combobox for business entity say cmbBusinessEntity.

Following properties are set for above controls.

UserName:
      Name : txtUserName
      AutoPostback : False
      EnabledViewState : True
Password:
      Name : txtPassword
      AutoPostback : False
      TextMode : Password
      EnabledViewState : True
BusinessEntity:(ComboBox)
      Name : cmbBusinessEntity
      AutoPostback : True
      EnabledViewState : True

I am entering values in the following order :

UserName, Password and selected the BusinessEntity.

Now I am facing the problem that I am able to retain the Entered UserName
but the Password field is getting blank. Now I need to retype the password value.

Is there any way to retain the password value as retaining the username.


Thanks in Advance,

    If you're trying to get the password to be prepopulated on an HTML form that is sent TO the browser, that's a bad idea!  The server should never be sending the password back to the browser as the password will appear in the HTML.  That's a huge security risk.
