Hi,

I need a way to handle an encrypted column in a dataset. I have controls bound to a datasource, one of the column is a password column. I need this to show something meaningless (like the encrypted value or a blank) but when something is entered it must be encrypted and saved to the db?

Thanks in advance

Regards

Ed
 
er.. why are you downloading the password column at all if you don't want it to show?
 
Well, it doesnt need to be loaded, but I need the dataset to be able to handle updating it by encoding the value before it is stored.
 
Er. That's a little confusing, but it sounds like you want to ahve a datatable that has a Password column

BUT DON'T bind it to anything, don't select it in the tableadapter SELECT queries, and when the user types something in it (er.. maybe i would use a password field instead for obfuscation) have the db server do the encode.

Perhaps if you tell me more about the screen youre desigining and its purpose I can suggest a solution
