Creating a Change Password page

To create a Change Password page in ASP.NET, you can use the ChangePassword control. The ChangePassword control provides an easy way for users to change their password and automatically handles password validation and error messages.

Here are the steps to create a Change Password page using the ChangePassword control:

Drag and drop the ChangePassword control onto your page from the Toolbox in Visual Studio.

Configure the control by setting its properties. For example, you can set the SuccessPageUrl property to the page that the user will be redirected to after successful password change.

<asp:ChangePassword ID=”ChangePassword1″ runat=”server” SuccessPageUrl=”~/ChangePasswordSuccess.aspx”>

</asp:ChangePassword>

Optionally, customize the control’s appearance by adding markup to the <LayoutTemplate> section. For example, you can add labels or textboxes to collect additional information from the user.

<asp:ChangePassword ID=”ChangePassword1″ runat=”server” SuccessPageUrl=”~/ChangePasswordSuccess.aspx”>

<asp:Label ID=”CurrentPasswordLabel” runat=”server” AssociatedControlID=”CurrentPassword”>Current Password:</asp:Label>

<asp:TextBox ID=”CurrentPassword” runat=”server” TextMode=”Password”></asp:TextBox>

…

</LayoutTemplate>

</asp:ChangePassword>

Optionally, customize the control’s behavior by handling events. For example, you can handle the ChangingPassword event to validate the user’s input before the password is changed.

<asp:ChangePassword ID=”ChangePassword1″ runat=”server” SuccessPageUrl=”~/ChangePasswordSuccess.aspx” OnChangingPassword=”ChangePassword1_ChangingPassword”>

…

</asp:ChangePassword>

protected void ChangePassword1_ChangingPassword(object sender, LoginCancelEventArgs e)

{

// Validate the user’s input

}
