Making a Password form

Making a Password form

• jhered

  This would just be a matter of creating a form... we'll call it PasswordForm that contains a pair of TextBoxes and a button... the whole thing would be called/displayed from a parent form or class that would inspect the specified credentials and if they are ok, continue executing, otherwise abort without continuing.

  Another option might be to have the PasswordForm itself check the username and password itself and return a single value back to the calling form via an exposed property or method.

  You can find a quick example of doing some of this here. Sadly this example only deals with the password (no username) however the underlying concepts are still the same.

  Try something like this:

  First add a loginform to your project. The rest you should be able to figure out.

  Private Sub OK_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles OK.Click

  If UsernameTextBox.Text = "username" And PasswordTextBox.Text = "password" Then

  Me.Close()

  Form1.show()

  ElseIf UsernameTextBox.Text <> "username" Then

  MsgBox("Name Incorrect")

  ElseIf PasswordTextBox.Text <> "password" Then

  MsgBox("Password Incorrect")

  End If

  End Sub

  Private Sub Cancel_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Cancel.Click

  Me.Close()

  End Sub

  Do u have form2.show

  it should show your form when u click ok if the input matches your username and password in your code.

  Just a piece of advice when it comes to trying code from someone who is also fairly new to VB.net.

  Sometimes code won't run and then sometimes it will the next time.  i don't understand why but it does.

  and also sometimes you need to publish your app and try it, what may not work in debug may work for real and vice-versa.

  So just insert that into the log in form correct
