Newbe: login username and passwords

[Wes McCaslin]

I have created a login form where i set the username and password within the
code. I was wondering how could I set a varible so that I could have a form
go back and look at what the user typed in the textboxes on the login form.

Hi Wes,
Is this on a webform or a windowform?

Hi, you can create a module, and place a public variable inside:

Public Module
Public g_strUser As String
Public g_strPass As String
End Module

When the 'OK' button is clicked on the login form, store the username in
g_strUser and the password in g_strPass... Now you can access those
variables from anywhere.

I prefer properties...

Hi Herfried... IMO extra clutter. But...

Public NotInheritable Class MyGlobalSettings
Private m_strUser As String
Private m_strPass As String

Private Sub New()
MyBase.New()
End Sub

Public Property Username() As String
Get
Return m_strUser
End Get
Set (Value As String)
m_strUser = Value
End Set
End Property

Public Property Password As String
Get
Return m_strPass
End Get
Set (Value As String)
m_strPass = Value
End Set
End Property
End Class

Now, access the properties with 'MyGlobalSettings.Username' and
'MyGlobalSettings.Password'.

When it is a windowform,
But this sentence has the sound from a webform that is sended back

I was wondering how could I set a varible so that I could have a form
go back and look at what the user typed in the textboxes on the login form.

And I said sound not is ;-)

Hi Cor,

True, but IMO it doesn't sound like a WebForm. Of course I could be wrong.

Also, it works the same way in a WebForm ;-)

This is just a login form for an application that I am building for my job.

Hi Wes,

Did myself and Herfried's post help you at all?
