Is the information enough?

Ok be sure you have all of the following imports:

When keywords are not recognized, that is the first thing to check.
**Copy and Paste doesn't always solve this**

Imports System.Web.Security     '   ||||||   Required Class for Authentication

Imports System.Data             '   ||||||   DB Accessing Import

Imports System.Data.SqlClient   '   ||||||   SQL Server Import

Imports System.Configuration    '   ||||||   Required for Web.Config appSettings |||||

And be sure you have this line in your Web.Config file.

<appSettings>

    <add key="strConn" value="Network Library=DBMSSOCN;Data Source=192.168.0.100,1433;database=Northwind;User id=;Password=;"/>

    </appSettings>

Let me know how it goes..

Sorry, let me give you a clearer picture first. I'm using Access Database and I named my Database as User.mdb. My table is called tblUser. Inside the table got U_id, U_Name and U_Password. I haven't create any Query because the SQL statement you wrote on the first page will always prompt me the value of the parameter. So in the end I deleted it. Is it purpose to be this way?

I also create a Login Page named Login.aspx. My form have:
- txtUsername
- txtPassword
- cmdSubmit
- lblMessage

Thus, I would like to learn from you what should I put for my query and how can I connect to the Access Database so that my login page is workable? I really appreciate your help. =) Thank you in advance!

Ok, I can definitely help.

First off I highly recommend you READ through the tutorial again. I am being serious, and not in a bad way.

Why? Your statement:

•

I haven't create any Query because the SQL statement you wrote on the first page will always prompt me the value of the parameter. So in the end I deleted it. Is it purpose to be this way?

This demonstrates that you may not understanding what the purpose each line of code I have provided is doing. So let me see if I can better clarify what is happening.

To begin this SQL statement used in Access is correct:

SELECT COUNT(*) AS Num_of_User
         FROM tblUser
         WHERE (((tblUser.U_Name)=[@UserName]) AND ((tblUser.U_Password)=[@Password]));

The query is suppose to prompt you; it will in Access as the @UserName & @Password are parameters the query is expecting to do the processing against the database on. What you are doing wanting to do is pass in the values entered into the ASP.NET control (i.e. username & password textboxes) into these paramters. Otherwise how would you provide the query with the values entered? And how else would you qualify the query? Meaning; how would you find out if the password entered is correct for the username entered?

Here is another important point. Your initial error was with the SQLConnection object not being recognized, but you are now saying you are using an Access Database.

Which are you using? An SQL database or Access?

If it is truly Access you are using then the imports you need are those directed at the start of this tutorial:

Imports System.Web.Security     '   ||||||   Required Class for Authentication
Imports System.Data             '   ||||||   DB Accessing Import
Imports System.Data.SqlClient   '   ||||||   SQL Server Import
Imports System.Configuration    '   ||||||   Required for Web.Config appSettings |||||

Link to the start of this tutorial - using an Access Database

Hope this helps.

I'm Sorry... The login page is still not working. I do not know what went wrong. I'm using Access DB.

Imports System.Web.Security ' |||||| Required Class for Authentication
Imports System.Data ' |||||| DB Accessing Import
Imports System.Data.SqlClient ' |||||| SQL Server Import
Imports System.Configuration ' |||||| Required for Web.Config appSettings |||||

I've changed the above code from Imports.System.Data.SqlClient to Imports.System.Data.OleDBConnection. Because I'm not using SQL Server. Am I right to do so? I've also create a new databse which I had followed the codes on the first page. So could you paste the rest of the codes which I need for me? The first page is kinda confusing for me. I'm really new at this. This is the first time I'm doing this. Please...

Greetings all. I am very green at .net, learning as I go at this point. Is there a way to "adapt" the code here to be usable on the 2.0 Framework? I am building a basic webform for a project at work that pulls a dropdown list from an SQL DB, and I have an editing page to manage it, but of course it needs to be protected so anyone can't just go in and make changes. I build the entire login script based on the notes here, with the usual couple tweaks, but get the error "A first chance exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' occurred in System.Data.dll" when I run in debug mode after entering the name/password. The form always returns the "invalid login!" message regardless as well. I am writing in vb.net 2k5 at this time, but haven't learned all the features as of yet either. -- Thanks for any assistance anyone can provide! --

Hi E_Hobbie_Coder,

You say you are using VB.Net 2K5? Well this code only works with ASP.NET 1.0 or 1.1. It will not function (do to several Framework changes) in ASP.NET 2.0, or VB.NET 2k5 (which would require major code changes to from this tutorial).

Provide the code you are having issues with and I can see what I can do to help.
