Hi....
I am creating a C#.Net project windows based application.
I want to create a login page. In login page there should be Census year, username, password fields.

I have a table of census year. Login will be based on selected year, username and password.

What should i do to login? Should i create a datatable for username, password and year? or create session?
I think session can not be created in window application..so what should i do?

Kindly help me.

Yes, there are no sessions in Windows application.

1. Design your tables such that based on a given year and username, you can verify if the password matches and thus autehnticates a user.
2. In your UI, take the parameters - Census years, Username and password
3. Pass on the values to DB
4. Verify if the user is valid based on the data
5. Return true(if ok) or false(if not ok)
6. based on true/false, move on to next form.

The first post is correct there is no session for win apps.
I would also add some security to the db for passwords.
this is getting to be a very serious concern in keeping these secret.

Hello

There is no sessions in windows application.

Inorder to provide security for passwords in db, you need to HASH the password and save in database, so that when queried from backend also the password will appear hashed.

But when users logins in by typing the password, u need to get the string and HASH it and check the resulting HASH value with the database HASHED password value.

if both are correct then allow the user to login successfully else display the error message.
