I'm a little confuse with regards to database and how it's used.
I want to store my window application's data into microsoft access.
Example.
I have 3TB
TBCurrentpassword
TBNewpassword
TBConfirmpassword
how do i write a program:
1. Store data in Microsoft access.
2. Compare the data stored etc.
and what connection shld i use cause I'm not even sure about to do they connect=/ can someone give some advice. thank youu
Jump to PostTo perform database actions, you must have to learn ADO.NET class library.
Jump to PostI posted a code snippet of a login screen:
http://www.daniweb.com/code/snippet217409.htmlThat code will address retrieving and comparing passwords.
Jump to PostTry this application (attached as zip). You should be able to run the project with making any changes.
I plumbed a data access layer:
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Data; using System.Data.OleDb; namespace daniweb.users { public static class DataAccess { const string …
1. Store data in Microsoft access.

i think so? An example would be.
You have to key in ur current password inorder to change into newpassword.
so when u key current password it will take the data from window application and compare with the stored data in M.access and after confirm the password data would be stored in the M.access.
so i was wondering how to get to it=/
Not sure if you are looking for something like this.
Query: UPDATE yourtable SET TBNewpassword = textbox2.Text WHERE TBCurrentpassword = textbox1.Text
Watch some data access video tutorials on windowsclient.net
when opened with windows media play, hit shift+ctrl+N and it will take half as it would in normal speed.

thanks. i'm trying to figure out though cause I've nv seen most of it before and what i know is actually really really really basic.
solved?
solved?
they have solve the question but i just don't understand how it is being used etc..

}Then your crypto unit:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Security.Cryptography;
using System.IO;
namespace daniweb.users

mCSP = new RijndaelManaged();
try

}
finally

if (cs != null)

}
return ASCIIEncoding.UTF8.GetString(_result);
}
#endif

}
}
}
}
}
