[RESOLVED] login form

are there any tips for doing a login form in vb.net 2003?

my recommendations are these (i am doing this with mine)

• use a database
• use a datareader and not a dataset (youll only get the information, not modify it)
• in the database, put in a datetime field, use this to log the last password change
• with the last password change, use timespan to check to see if they should change it after a given period of days
• if the user enters information wrong X times, disable their account in the db. you can do this using a counter

just my ideas for you :)

is there any walk through for it cause I'm pretty unfamiliar with vb?

i am in the process of making changes to mine. when its done... ill make it available to everyone.
