How to create Login Form in ASP.NET?

Updated on March 5, 2015

Lets assume that we have a Login Form as shown below:

In the above figure, two Labels, two TextBoxes and one Button is used. First, we need to set the following control's properties:

Controls
Properties
Label1
ID: User
 
Text: User Name
 
 
Label2
ID: Pass
 
Text: Password
 
 
TextBox1
ID: UserName
 
TextMode: SingleLine
 
 
TextBox2
ID: Password
 
TextMode: Password
 
 
Button1
ID: Submit
 
Text: Submit

Validators to be used:

  • RequiredFieldValidator
  • ValidationSummary

Field Name
Validator
Properties
User Name
RequiredFieldValidator
ID: UName_Validator
 
 
ControlToValidate: UserName
 
 
Display: None
 
 
ErrorMessage: User Name can't be blank
 
 
 
Password
RequiredFieldValidator
ID: Pass_Validator
 
 
ControlToValidate: Password
 
 
Display: None
 
 
ErrorMessage: Password can't be blank
 
 
 
 
ValidationSummary
ID: Summary
 
 
ShowMessageBox: True
 
 
ShowSummary: False

After setting above properties, click on the Submit button and add the following code in the codebehind (.cs or .vb) file:

C#

using System.Data;
using System.Data.SqlClient;

namespace Student
{
 public partial class LoginForm : System.Web.UI.Page
 {
  protected void Submit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
   SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection("server=myDB; uid=sa;
   pwd=password; database=master");
   connection.Open();
   String User = UserName.Text;
   String Pass = Password.Text;
   SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand("select count(*) from Login_Form
   where UserName = '"+User+"' and Password = '"+Pass+"'",connection);
   SqlDataReader dataReader = command.ExecuteReader();
     while(dataReader.Read()) 
      {
        if(dataReader.GetValue(0).ToString() == "1")
         {
           Response.Redirect("Welcome.aspx");
         }
        else
         {
           Response.Write("<script>
            alert('Invalid User Name/Password)");
           </script>");
         }
      }
    }
  }
}

VB

Imports System.Data
Imports System.Data.SqlClient

Partial Public Class LoginForm
 Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

 Protected Sub Submit_Click(ByVal sender As Object,ByVal e As  
 EventArgs)Handles Submit.Click

  Dim connection As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection("server=myDB;
  uid=sa; pwd=password;database=master")
   connection.Open()
   Dim User As String = UserName.Text
   Dim Pass As String = Password.Text
   Dim command As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand("select count(*) from
   Login_Form where UserName='" +User+"' and Password= '"+ Pass+"'",
   connection)
   Dim dataReader As SqlDataReader = command.Execute.Reader()
    While(dataReader.Read())
      If(dataReader.GetValue(0).ToString() = "1") Then
        Response.Redirect("Welcome.aspx")
      Else
        Response.Write("<script>
        alert('Invalid User Name/Password');
        </script>")
      End If
    End While
 End Sub
End Class

If User Name and Password both matches with the User Name and Password that are stored in the database, then 'Welcome.aspx' page would be opened. If User Name and Password both or any one of them does not match, then it would show an error message.
