here is my password helper class.
public static class PasswordHelper
{
public static readonly DependencyProperty PasswordProperty =
DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached("Password",
typeof(string), typeof(PasswordHelper),
new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(string.Empty, OnPasswordPropertyChanged));
public static readonly DependencyProperty AttachProperty =
DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached("Attach",
typeof(bool), typeof(PasswordHelper), new PropertyMetadata(false, Attach));
private static readonly DependencyProperty IsUpdatingProperty =
DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached("IsUpdating", typeof(bool),
typeof(PasswordHelper));
public static void SetAttach(DependencyObject dp, bool value)
{
dp.SetValue(AttachProperty, value);
}
public static bool GetAttach(DependencyObject dp)
{
return (bool)dp.GetValue(AttachProperty);
}
public static string GetPassword(DependencyObject dp)
{
return (string)dp.GetValue(PasswordProperty);
}
public static void SetPassword(DependencyObject dp, string value)
{
dp.SetValue(PasswordProperty, value);
}
private static bool GetIsUpdating(DependencyObject dp)
{
return (bool)dp.GetValue(IsUpdatingProperty);
}
private static void SetIsUpdating(DependencyObject dp, bool value)
{
dp.SetValue(IsUpdatingProperty, value);
}
private static void OnPasswordPropertyChanged(DependencyObject sender,
DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
PasswordBox passwordBox = sender as PasswordBox;
passwordBox.PasswordChanged -= PasswordChanged;
if (!(bool)GetIsUpdating(passwordBox))
{
passwordBox.Password = (string)e.NewValue;
}
passwordBox.PasswordChanged += PasswordChanged;
}
private static void Attach(DependencyObject sender, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
PasswordBox passwordBox = sender as PasswordBox;
if (passwordBox == null)
return;
if ((bool)e.OldValue)
{
passwordBox.PasswordChanged -= PasswordChanged;
}
if ((bool)e.NewValue)
{
passwordBox.PasswordChanged += PasswordChanged;
}
}
private static void PasswordChanged(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
PasswordBox passwordBox = sender as PasswordBox;
SetIsUpdating(passwordBox, true);
SetPassword(passwordBox, passwordBox.Password);
SetIsUpdating(passwordBox, false);
}
}
I see two problems with your code:
1.
XAML is case sensitive with regards to binding paths, but you have used lower cased property names in your XAML. (You can find out more from the 'Case and Whitespace in XAML' section of the XAML Overview (WPF) page at MSDN.
2.
You do not need to set the
Password
property of thePasswordBox
in yourOnPasswordPropertyChanged
handler, although this shouldn't cause your described problem.
