Public Property PublisherPassword As String
public string PublisherPassword { get; set; }

Remarks

You should use the SecurePublisherPassword property to set the Publisher password. SecurePublisherPassword provides better security for the password while it exists in memory.

When possible, prompt users to enter security credentials at runtime. If you must store credentials, use the cryptographic services provided by the Microsoft Windows .NET Framework.

Stored passwords used to connect to the Publisher are never returned. Accessing this property will generate a PasswordWriteOnlyException exception.

This property is used only when PublisherSecurityMode is set to Standard.

Thread Safety
