The right solution is:

<passwordbox x:name="txtPassword" xmlns:x="#unknown">
         ToolTip="Password"
         PasswordChar="*"
    /></passwordbox>

i am creating user control which accept textbox and password box in wpf you are giving solution in password box but i want to change character as * in textbox

I am not sure what your question is. You can easily change the PassworkChar, if that is the problem, by changing the attribute value from "*". If you want both a password box and a textbox, then would overlay the two, and set the visibility of one to hidden.

Finally, a correct answer here. Don't understand why they downvoted it. Guess there are a lot of lousy coders on this site.

This is not right for WPF. Looks like ASP.NET
