How can I show characters for an ASP.net password textbox control after assigning its .Text property?
<p>I am assigning a value to .Text of a textbox retrieved from a database in Page_Load() but no characters are shown in the textbox after doing this.  The value is indeed there when I try to read from it after the assignment.  </p>

<p>I would like to present some characters to the user even though they are the "dotted" password characters so they know a password has been entered here.  Is it possible to do this?</p>
