A newbie project help

[Athena]

Hello,

I am new to programming for web (I know VB6). I just installed VS2005 VB
and Web Developer Express. I have a simple application to start learning.
Application is like this:

On the web page there are two text boxes for UserID and Password entry
and a Submit button. When a user enters a User ID and a password, the
program checks whether the user has access rights against some database,
Excel file or some data storage (not big) and if so opens a web page. That's
all.

I also need to be able to have means to enter the UserId and Passwords
of the clients to this database. If the UserID and password has a specific
combination, then two new fields become visible so that I can enter userID
and passwords into the database through a submit button. If the passwords
expiration time so the clients cannot enter the site after a predetermined
time would also be useful.

Any code samples, hints or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Athena

Athena,

I think you should start here:

http://www.asp.net/learn/videos/video-06.aspx

Everything you need for the task you describe has actually been built into
the .NET Framework .. if you choose to use it; perhaps you might want to
"roll your own" instead ... have a look and decide ..

Hello Athena,

It would better if you tried to do it yourselft, and asked about that your
can't overcome

Dear Berry,

Thank you very much. This is really good help. I have one question
though. I downloaded the vb project of lesson 9. In VB2005 VB Express, you
load a project to VS. In this case there is no project. What file do you
load into VS? I started studying videos on that side. But the very first one
created a project rather than open one. Thank you.
