Instead of adding the binding using control.DataBindings.Add( "Text",
myObject, "Password" ), create a new Binding as follows:

Binding binding = new Binding( "Text", myObject, "Password" );
binding.Format += new ConvertEventHandler(Password_Format);
binding.Parse += new ConvertEventHandler(Password_Parse);

control.DataBindings.Add( binding );

void Password_Format( object sender, ConvertEventArgs e )
{
e.Value = DecryptPassword( e.Value );
}

Password_Parse would be similar to this.
