Normally, SQL Server is case insensitive - and that includes fields.

However it is possible to make individual fields case sensitive, or a database or the whole os SQL server.

Start by checking your field:
In Sql Server Management Studio, right click your table, and select "Design"
Highlight the field, and look at the Properties.
Find "Collation".
Click the "..." button at the right hand side.
Deselect "Case Sensitive", and press OK.
Try your app again.

When you check whether the username already exists in the database, you must use a case sensitive search. You'll find some methods for doing that in http://vyaskn.tripod.com/case_sensitive_search_in_sql_server.htm[^]
