[RESOLVED] Can you help with login forms

[skeletonchoji]

okay well i'm just messing around with visual basic 2008 and im not that good at it and i want to make something that uses a login form but its not meant to be online so how do i go about that i'll show you what i got so far.

Dim Passwords As String
    Dim Usernames As String

    Private Sub OK_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles OK.Click
        Passwords = "login" Or "1234" Or "Login"
        Usernames = "Admin" Or "Guest"
        If Passwords And Usernames = False Then Close() Else Form1.Show()

    End Sub

This isnt a good way to be doing it but it's upto you which path you choose. A solutions below.

Dim username(2) As String
        Dim password(2) As String
        Dim login As Boolean
 
        username(0) = "admin"
        username(1) = "guest"
        username(2) = "other"
 
        password(0) = "password1"
        password(1) = "password2"
        password(2) = "password3"
 
        login = False
 
        For i = 0 To 2
            If (TextBox7.Text = username(i)) And (TextBox8.Text = password(i)) Then
                login = True
            End If
        Next
 
        If (login) Then
            MsgBox("PASSED")
        Else
            MsgBox("FAILED")
        End If

A better way would be to look into using a database.

This is a good tutorial

Well thanks i got it too work do you know how i can close the login form with out closing the whole program?

[Ash.Burlaczenko]

While on the login form do

Me.Close()

If this close the whole program you need to go into the project settings. There will be something like "exit when startup form closes". You need to change it to "exit when last form closes".
