First off, I am a total VB noob. I want to create a program so that I can store usernames and passwords. I want to be able to search by username and pull up their password. What VB program do I need to write this? Can I just use the VB in excel?
View 9 RepliesBasically i am trying to create a programme, which needs to have some authorisation.
When the application starts up, it starts straight into the login screen.
I want the Username and Password textboxes to read the database and if they match then progress to the next form but if they dont match then a message box will appear.
I also want to create groups of people so if a certain group of people log in they go to a certain form and if the another group of people log in i want them to go to a different form.
Also i want the password box to be * instead of visable text.
dbProvider = "PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;"
dbSource = "Data Source = D:/Users.mdb"
con.ConnectionString = dbProvider & dbSource

I want to create a login system that reads the usernames and passwords for a list of arrays:[code]I have managed to code the program so it accepts the correct username and password and sends a error message when they don't match. The problem I'm having is when the user enters a username that isn't on my Username list. The program always crashes when I enter say "admin1000".[code]

I am building a small office application that requires users to log in dont need encryption or other sophisticated aproaches. all i need is an array of passwords that users can log in.
So If passtext.text= "test" or "test1" or test2" then
else
msgbox("Fix password")
I'm actually a beginner in VB express. i made about 10 easy programs, now i decided to make one a bit difficult. I'm stuck at the beginning.In first form i have 2 Textboxes and 1 Button (1username, 1password, button - sign in) and then another 2 Textboxes and 1Button (1username, 1password, button - register) I want to make something like this for beginning: When you register the infos from textboxes (username & password) are saved in some file (let's say in info.txt or info.ini). I actually want to know how to automatically save these usernames and passwords in text file when you click register button, so when you want to login, you have to use registered username&password. So if there in text file is not the username you registered or typed in textbox you can't login.

EDIT I ask because I want to mimic the way they store them for a custom authorization application I want to build. Or if someone can offer a existing framework or class that handles user authorization for a web application. If I can use asp.net membership for multiple applications using web service that would be even better.
I have a scenario that has been troubling me for years. If you have to connect to a database or other service (like a web service) using a username and password, where would be the safest place to store this information if you are connecting through a .NET assembly? I understand that you would have to encrypt the password, but then you run into a kind of chicken-egg problem -- fine -- you can encrypt it, but then where do you put the key?In .NET, you can't hardcode the password because you can decompile .NET code.
I looked at using assembly based rights with Isolated Storage, but MS recommends against storing unencrypted secret items there because priveledged users can gain access, so again, we are moving the problem from point A to point B. So for examplem, a domain admin with no need to know about the information in a database would be able to get access because of the ability to be an admin on any workstation on the domain.You can encrypt App.Config and Web.Config, but I believe priveledges users can access the keys. I think you run into the same problem with DPAPI.
I had considered storing the passwords, encrypted in a remoted database and getting them through OS authentication, but our department prohibits the storage of passwords on database servers. I am pretty sure I am stuck and wanted confirmation.
I use AES encryption in my vb.net 2008 windows forms apps to ....
1. Store user passwords in sql server express database in encrypted form
2. decrypt the encrypted Sql server express connection string password on the fly when connecting to SQl Server over a vpn or direct to web based sql server database
3. decrypt the encrypted ftp site password on the fly when my application connects to my ftp site to upload client's database backups
The issue I have is that the secret key for the encryption / decryption is hard coded within the encryption/decryption functions. So anybody who decompiled my application would be able to generate the same encryption, as they would have the encryption secret key How can you hide the encryption secret key so that if anybody decompiled my app they could not reproduce the decryption function
storing usernames and password after the program closes. I do not want them to be stored in a .txt file, as this is insecure. How do I store it?
View 2 RepliesI am coding a program that will allow the user to input 5 payrolls for Store 1, Store 2, and Store 3. The total of the 5 payrolls are then added together and shown in the respective Store's labels. A total label is also there to add up all the totals into one number. The numbers in the label must be in currency form. My problem is the numbers don't add correctly when I hit calculate. The first two numbers add together, but then after that the number just seems to subtract a random amount.
So far I have this --

Any way to import passwords into all program downloads. For example, if I wish to give a certain user a password I can somehow insert it into a program, and it updates all the programs which have been downloaded. It just saves editing the code, then releasing another update to include new passwords for people to use. Maybe if there's someway to auto update when an update is available, it would work. Here is the coding for a password. I just need to find a way with will mass update everybody's program when I want to add a new password for another person.
Private Sub ButtonX2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Verify.Click

View 4 Replies"Create a class called Invoice that a hardware store might use to represent an invoice for an item sold at the store. An Invoice should include four pieces of information as instance variables--a part number (type String), a part description (type String), a quantity of the item being purchased (type Integer) and a price per item (Type Integer). Your class should have a constructor that initialize for each of the four instance variables. Provide a property for each instance variable. If the quantity is not positive it should be set to zero. If the price per item is not positive it should be set to zero."
I attached the code I have. obj is underlined and says "Argument not specified for parameter 'Invoice4' of the 'Public Sub New (Invoice1 As Object, Invoice2 As Object, Invoice3 As Object, Invoice4 As Object)' and so the program won't run. What am I doing wrong?

I have been working on a project in which I need to get all usernames.
Add to form
Public Function GetUserId() As String
Dim lUserName As String
Dim lSuccess As Boolean
[Code].....
Unfortunately, this only gets the username of the user logged on. I was wondering if there is a way to modify this to get all user names.
Is it possible to get a list of usernames (as shown in Control Panel->Users) on the PC that my app is running on? If so, is it then possible to determine the type of account (i.e. Admin, Standard AND if the account is the Built-in Guest or Built-in Administrator account)?

Normal Code

Button1.Enabled = Enabled
End If

I need a Function that I can read all the Users that exist on the Windows System. I dont know how to realize that.
View 7 RepliesI'm having a problem with the error in verifying the usernames that are already existing in the record/database.
When you inputted a username that already existing it will throw an exception, and when you change the username, it still throws the exception.
I'm having trouble figuring out the logic to this problem:Thus, you can create the bar graph with each store's name, and a separate label that has the sales information for each store. Since each asterisk represents $100 sales, you can just do # of sales mod 100 to get the number of asterisks you need for that store, then loop and add asterisks until the label has the correct number of asterisks. Repeat for each store input that the user gives.

I have the following text that I am trying to parse:
"user1@emailaddy1.com" <user1@emailaddy1.com>, "Jane Doe" <jane.doe@ addyB.org>,
"joe@company.net" <joe@company.net>
I am using the following code to try and split up the string:
Dim groups As GroupCollection
Dim matches As MatchCollection
Dim regexp1 As New Regex("""(.*)"" <(.*)>")
matches = regexp1 .Matches(toNode.InnerText)
For Each match As Match In matches
groups = match.Groups
message.CompanyName = groups(1).Value
message.CompanyEmail = groups(2).Value
Next
But this regular expression is greedy and is grabbing the entire string up to the last quote after "joe@company.net". I'm having a hard time putting together an expression that will group this string into the two groups I'm looking for: Name (in the quotes) and E-Mail (in the angle brackets).
I want to make different levels of access for a vb.net program i'm writing.I have a database called "stratocast". I want to show a specific form for entries in this table with "IsManager" checked and another specific form for those with "IsAdmin" checked.Im using MySql server and visual basic 2010 express
EDIT:To clear up any misconceptions about my post, ill explain further: In my vb.net application i have a login form with two textboxes; One for the username and one for password. I also have three other forms, one is called "frmAdmin", another called "frmManager" and another one called "frmEmployee".
On my database i have a table called "employee" with columns called "name", "title", "IsManager", "IsAdmin", "Username" and "Password".
IsManager and IsAdmin are both Boolean columns
This means that their values can only be 0 or 1 and the result is displayed as a checkbox.When the employee logs into this applcation i want it to check whether or not the employee is a manager, an administrator, or just a regular employee with no additional rights. If the employee is a manager, i want to show "frmManager". If the employee is an Administrator i want to show "frmAdmin". And if the employee has no additional rights then i want to show "frmEmployee".
I'd like to keep the configuration for access level checking confined to the one table but if it's better to have separate tables for each level of access (ie: tables called Admin,Manager, and Employee) then ill consider that too.
I am extremly fresher in the above things. I want to create a store procedure in my programme and use it or call the store procedure. give me a standard sample code so that I can understandand.
