Question

I used a TextBox as Password input, which is associated with a warning message for incorrect input. For re-entering password into the TextBox (firing the textbox_TextChanged event), I want to the warning message invisible. I put the textbox in the UpdatePanel also. But it still does not work. My code is below:

XML

<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server" UpdateMode="Always" >
    <ContentTemplate>
        <asp:Label ID="lblPassword" runat="server" Text="Administrator Password:"
            Height="24px" Width="170px" style="font-weight: 700"></asp:Label> &nbsp;
        <asp:TextBox ID="TextBoxPassword" runat="server" Height="24px" Width="192px"
            Tooltip = "Enter Your Password (Case Senssitive)"
            ontextchanged="TextBoxPassword_TextChanged"
            AutoPostBack="True"  ></asp:TextBox>
     &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
        <asp:Label ID="lblPasswordWarning" runat="server"
            Text="Incorrect Password, Re-enter again" Visible="False"
            Height="31px" Width="170px" style="color: #FF3300;"></asp:Label>
    </ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>

C#

protected void TextBoxPassword_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) {
    if (TextBoxPassword.Text.Length > 5) {
        btnOK.Enabled = true;
    }
}

How can the textBox_TextChanged event get fired? Thanks.

You should do this at Client side using JavaScript.

why donot you use onkeypress event of textbox

I agree this should be done client side. Normally when server events don't fire it's because you forget to rewire the event when the form is posted back.

Have you considered using a Validator (e.g. CustomValidator) for checking the password?
If you wan't to stop them entering an empty password there is an RequiredFieldValidator etc.
Usually those Validators (except the Custom one) also have Client-Side validation (in addition to server side)

You are missing the trigger:

 <triggers>
    <asp:asyncpostbacktrigger controlid="TextBoxPassword" eventname="TextChanged" xmlns:asp="#unknown" />
 </triggers>
<pre>

To contracting1992: Tried yours but got asp:asyncpostbacktrigger not supported. Any additional recommendation? Thanks.
To Rohan: I also agree that a JavaScript should be used. But I haven't found a good sample on it. Could you provide additional help if you can? Thanks.
