How to make users notify about their faliure login attempts

Hi guys,
Anyone reading this thread can please help me in the topic above mentioned.?

However there is one property regarding this "maxInvalidPasswordAttempts" in conjunction with "passwordAttemptWindow" , but please tell me how these two can be used to notify users about their failure attempts.

I have 1 more question to ask.
In pages like ContactForm.aspx, I have used a label to display a success or failure message to user after submitting form

Code:

<asp:Label ID="lblMessage" runat="server" Text="Message Sent" Visible="false"></asp:Label>

Is there possible to have a message box rather than having simple label control?
I have already added a reference of "System.Windows.Forms" class in the root directory of the site. And then have added the namespace in code behind file of that user control.

Code:

using System.Windows.Forms;

And if it is possible then on clicking the OK button of message box, how it will be redirected to the same ContactForm.aspx page....

Any assistance will lead these 2 exercises to completion.

What are you using to check/validate logins? Can you capture the event or condition when the validation logic decides that too many attempts have been made? Then you simply show the user a message on the page.

You can't use Windows forms classes (i.e. MessageBox) in a web application. The code is running on the server not the client. So if you tried to launch a message box, it would show up on the server which wouldn't do much good.
