you just check each of the value in registration form with data in your database, what the problems...
if u can save and show data from database so its not difficult to validate registration from with database.

if you can do in asp.net with vb, it think you can do the same. so what the effort of your code?

for validation you have to follow this

1 compare the text value with each user name record field.

2. if any record find out with same name you have to given message to user "user name all ready used by some one you have to chose another name" .

3. if no record is found create and save to data base.
