Hi Alvaro:
his behavior is by design. We've implemented it to fix the Q144772 bug. In earlier versions, the password that was set on the server side was visible in the page source in the browser. Thus, it was possible to compromise the password.
Now, there's no way to set a text for a standalone textbox or the GridViewDataTextColumn editor on the server side, but it is possible to do this on the client. For example, use the CustomJSProperties event handler of the ASPxTextBox to pass the required text on the client side and set it for the editor using the SetText method. Also, you can implement another client-side solution that is most acceptable for your project.
Thanks
Kate.
