| Using a hidden input box to store a password for web services
input id="idpassword" type="hidden" value=" " runat="server"
throws this error
Compiler Error Message: BC30311: Value of type 'System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlInputHidden' cannot be converted to 'String'.
I would be grateful for any ideas

| Hi
Don't know how to do it in ASP but in PHP you do as follows. And please can
some one tell me how to do this in ASP.NET code
since I'm transforming my homepage from PHP to ASPX.
?
<?php
$_SESSION["passwd"]=$_POST["key"]
$_SESSION["sername"]=$_POST["name"]
// This creates a cockie
// Then login to the database or what ever.
?>
In the html code I write
<form action="login.php" method="POST">
<table align="center" width="80%">
<tr>
<td>
<p>User</p>
</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="name">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<p>Password</p>
</td>
<td>
<input type="password" name="key">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<p> </p>
</td>
<td>
<input type="submit" name="login" value="Login">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
The only drawback that I know of os that you store a session cockie on the
local machine. The cockie is deleted once the browser is closed. This can
cause Anti Virus programs to report the page. But that's not a major deals
unless you are distributing spyware or adware. The same message appear when
I log into my bank so I can pay my bills.
