Set TextBox value when TextMode is Password on ASP.Net GridView RowCommand using C# and VB.Net

Hi Saiansh,

You will not get the password with $. As you are spliting the CommandArgument string with $. So while assigning multiple value to CommandArgument through Evel use other character to concadinate the string. But there will be same issue happen when you are spliting with the character. So the better way is use HiddenField and save the password in HiddenFeld and retrieve from HiddenField.

HTML

<asp:GridView runat="server" ID="gdvUsers" OnRowCommand="gdvUsers_RowCommand">
    <Columns>
        <asp:TemplateField>
            <ItemTemplate>
                <asp:HiddenField ID="hfPassword" runat="server" Value='<%#Eval("password") %>' />
                <asp:LinkButton ID="lnkEdit" runat="server" Text="Select" CommandName="EditDetails"
                    CommandArgument='<%# Eval("userId")+"$"+Eval("fullName")+"$"+Eval("email")+"$"+Eval("mobile")+"$"+Eval("password")+"$"+Eval("roleId")+"$"+Eval("roleName") %>'> </asp:LinkButton>
            </ItemTemplate>
        </asp:TemplateField>
    </Columns>
</asp:GridView>
<br />
<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="txtPassword" TextMode="Password" />
<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="TextBox1" />
