Adding a login

[Jtsou]

I want to make a login for my application, not using a database, for now.

I figured something like this:

Private Sub OK_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles OK.Click

        If UsernameTextBox.Text = "Josh" & PasswordTextBox.Text = "mypass1" Then
            Me.Hide()
        Else If
            MsgBox("Sorry User Name Or Passord Is Incorrect")
        End If

    End Sub

Im getting a cannot convert to boolean or something.

Please help, very new to this. Some Java experience

Actually I think i got it.

Private Sub OK_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles OK.Click

        If UsernameTextBox.Text = "Josh" AndAlso PasswordTextBox.Text = "mypass1" Then
            MsgBox("Login Successful")
            Form1.Show()
            Me.Hide()
        End If

    End Sub

Only one thing:
Doing this only hides the login form. I tried Me.Close() but it closes the whole program.

Is there an IgnoreCase function to make the fields case insensitive

Follow the CodeBank link in my signature and check out my WinForms Login thread.

The String.Equals function can be case-sensitive or -insensitive.
