Saving values in a text box?

Re: Saving values in a text box?

Use server textboxes (System.Web.UI. WebControls.Tex tbox). They
automatically do what you want.

Winform? Lots of ways to do this. I am creating a class that holds the
username and serializing it to disk in the user profile folder.

email me if you want the code

If it's a Windows Forms (desktop) application, you can save it to the
registry.

For any type of app, you can save the information to a database table. If
the permissions of the executing machine allow it, you can also save to the
filesystem as XML or text. For a browser-based app, you could use a cookie
stored on the user's machine.

It is an extremely bad security practice to automatically populate a
password field (you might as well just stick a post-it note with the info on
the monitor). *NEVER* do this. However, in the case of a browser-based app
using a cookie, automatic login (without displaying the login form) is a
common practice. If you do this, be certain you encrypt the password so it
can't be simply read by someone who gains access to the computer. I advise
against doing this where the data being accessed is sensitive.

You really should explain to the users of your app that the few extra
keystrokes they have to enter to login is far better for security. If they
complain, tell them then they shouldn't bother with security at all and just
leave it wide open for anyone, since that's essentially what they're
wanting.

I sure would be interested in the class that serializes to a user profile folder. My e-mail is dhining@houston .rr.com. Thanks.

Re: Saving values in a text box?

I hope that is an email alias, otherwise you can expect lots of additional
spam from the spambots that scour newsgroups looking for email addresses.

Dennis, here is a link to that class I posted earlier

If you need me to explain how it works, just let me know. May not be the
best method, but it is working for me. :^)

Re: Saving values in a text box?

There is some code in this article doing something similar to my class, but
uses isolated storage. You may want to check it out.
