Hi Guys

I am new to this website and forums, and hope that I will get a quick response. A simple question. I have created an interface which has fields asking for username and passwords, when the user clicks on the submit button, he is directed to the appropriate form.

But if the password is incorrect, how can I display a message box stating that "Username/password" incorrect like we do in VB 6.0 and VB.net

Thanks guys

Hey,

Are we taking windows or web? For windows, use Messagebox.Show(), althought MsgBox is still available.

For web, you need to use javascript alert() method or vbscripts msgbox() method. When you need to display a message, you can display with RegisterStartupScript at the server level. Here's another thread discussing this:

Here's a little VB.NET helper class I wrote some time ago that may be of some use:

Public Class PageHelpers

    Public Shared Sub MsgBox(ByVal objPage As System.Web.UI.Page, ByVal strMessage As String)
        strMessage = strMessage.Replace("'", "\'").Replace(Convert.ToChar(10), "\n").Replace(Convert.ToChar(13), "")
        Scriptlet(objPage, String.Format("alert(""{0}"");", strMessage))
    End Sub

    Public Shared Sub Scriptlet(ByVal objPage As System.Web.UI.Page, ByVal strScriptlet As String)
        Static intScriptletCount As Integer = 0
        Dim strFullScript As String
        intScriptletCount += 1
        strFullScript = String.Format("<script language=""JavaScript"">{0}</script>", strScriptlet)
        objPage.RegisterStartupScript(String.Format("Scrip tlet_{0}", intScriptletCount), strFullScript)
    End Sub

End Class
