I have a ComboBox for username and a TextBox for password. I'm trying to create the usual login form where in the user needs to input the correct username and password or else access is denied. MsgBox("Welcome") is working and MsgBox("Failed") is not.
Private Sub btnlogin_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnlogin.Click
sSql = "Select * from tblusers where username = '" & cmbusers.Text & "' and password = '" & txtpass.Text & "'"
execSQL(sSql, False)
If RD.Read Then
If cmbusers.Text = RD(1) And txtpass.Text = RD(2) Then
MsgBox("Welcome")
Else
MsgBox("Failed", MsgBoxStyle.Critical)
End If
End If
End Sub
Your query won't return anything if the credentials aren't correct, Your messageBox Failed is in the wrong position as it will appear only if data was read.
Private Sub btnlogin_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnlogin.Click
sSql = "Select * from tblusers where username = '" & cmbusers.Text & "' and password = '" & txtpass.Text & "'"
execSQL(sSql, False)
If RD.Read Then
If cmbusers.Text = RD(1) And txtpass.Text = RD(2) Then
MsgBox("Welcome")
End If
Else
MsgBox("Failed")
End If
End Sub
