title: How do I get a "show password" effect in vb.net?
body: <p>I am making an email login program in visual basic 2015 with various options, one of them being the option to show password or not with probably a check box. It is just a simple, standard windows forms application, I am relatively new to it. </p>

  <pre><code>Private Sub CheckBox1_CheckedChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles CheckBox1.CheckedChanged
  
  'Display plain text if and only if check box is checked.
  
  TextBox1.UseSystemPasswordChar = Not CheckBox1.Checked
  
  End Sub
  </code></pre>
