A newbie question

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

Re: A newbie question

You're in luck. Pretty much all the things you ask for are provided by
Asp.Net with virtually no programming necessary (including the Login
dialog). You want to google Membership Providers, Role Providers & the
Login Control. Using the default settings for these, Asp.Net will set up
and use a SQL Server Express database automatically to store user
information.

You should find plenty of examples.
