Login User Control Program..

A login user control? I don't think you'll find anything like this in C#'s libraries. But is it so hard to create a form that contains 2 TextBoxes (1 for name and 1 for password), 2 buttons(OK and Cancel) and a simple credentials validation algorithm? Or you're developing some sort of impenetrable supernetwork of the future? Hmmm....I think it sounds more like a homework. Anyway, create the form as I said (with the TextBoxes and Buttons included)...that should be easy...click the desired control in the Designer and then place it on the form. Then, assuming you're using VisualStudio, double-click each of the buttons; that should create the click event handlers code. Now, in the OK button event handler perform a simple check: if the text in, let's say name_textbox==whatever and the text in password_textbox==whatever_again...your user is ok; else....kick him out :) P.S. If you want the textboxes to display * instead of plain text, set their PasswordChar property to '*'. In VS 2005 it's even easier...you already have a MaskedTextBox control defined.
