Login Manage Users and Navigate Records

[CoachBarker]

As someone who has been using these forums for a couple of years now, I thought maybe it was time I contributed a little something. A lot of what I have learned has been from self experience and research on the internet. When it comes to C# there is no better place than in these forums and the professionals that take the time to help out those less gifted.

Some of the basic questions that seem to be asked are how to login into an application using a database, how to manage (add, update, delete records) users (records), and how to navigate between records. This little application does all of these things. It has a main form that opens and then allows you to log in. On the login screen, the user names are shown in a combo box and below that there is a masked textbox for entering a password. After a successful login you can either open a screen to manage users or another form that can be used for something else.

1. Written in VS 2008 C# Express Edition
2. Includes an access database for records
3. When adding a password it validates the password being entered against itself
4. The validating of records in the Login form is from jmcilhinney’s code bank submission “Validate Credentials Against User Record in Database”

It is a basic application that will hopefully show new users how to get started and perform some of the basic tasks.

I would also like to thank all of the people in here that have taken time to help me when I have gotten stuck and had no where else to turn.
