Password Management Application

Here is a password management application that i have created which is designed to manage passwords for other applications. I am a beginner at VB and this is the first app i have developed without following a tutorial. I have added it as it may be of use to other beginners and demonstrates good knowledge of the following:

Forms:

Windows Forms
Splash Screens


Dialogs:

User Dialogs
Open File Dialogs
Message Boxes
Input Boxes


Form Controls:

Buttons
Textboxes
Labels
Panels
Comboboxes
Timers


Database Objects:

OleDbConnection
OleDbConnectionStringBuilder
OleDbDataAdapter
OleDbCommandBuilder

Variables:

String
Boolean


Loops:

For loops


Data Encryption:

Triple DES Encryption


Data Validaton:

Username Validation
Password Validation


Others:

Exception Handling
Data Sets
Basic SQL Statement
Modules - Calling Public Sub Routines
If/Else If Statements


Please feel free to modify the code in anyway you want as i created it purely for learning. All code is
commented to explain what is being done. You will need the following details to use the application:

Application Username: Administrator
Application Password: Admin2000
Database Password: Admin2000
Database Table Name: Table1

The database is included with the project file attached.

If you come across any bugs in the program please post a message and i will be happy to look in to it.

If you do find this helpful please leave some feedback.

Unfortunately i had two zip application into two seperate files so you will need to unzip them both and put all files in one folder.

Note - some people using Windows 64 bit may get the error: The 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB4.0' provider is not registered on the local machine. That's because it is not available on a 64 bit machine. If you are using Microsoft Visual Basic 2010 you can make the application compile for an x86 32-bit machine by clicking on your program properties > Compile > Platform, and selecting the x86 cpu, but with Microsoft Visual Basic 2010 Express this is not an option.

You can get it to work, though, by just adding 2 lines of code to your .vbproj file - see here for the full explanation: http://www.onteorasoftware.net/post/...ress-2008.aspx
