I am working on a login screen, but having issues w/ my iterations. I want someone who is logging in to only have 3 chances before it redirects them to the forgot password page... Below is my code, problem is; it kicks right out of the if statement to the forgot pwd page....
Please help; THANKS

***********************************************

Private Sub btnLogin_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnLogin.Click


        Dim Dr As System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataReader
        Dim user, pwd As String
        Dim Count As Integer = 0
        user = Me.txtUser.Text
        pwd = Me.txtPwd.Text
        Session("Username") = user
        Session("Password") = pwd
        SqlConn.Close()
        SqlConn.Open()
        Dr = SqlComm.ExecuteReader


        While Dr.Read
            Session("FirstName") = Dr("DTFName").ToString
            Session("LastName") = Dr("DTLName").ToString
            If Count > 3 Then
                If (user = Dr("DTLoginID").ToString And pwd = Dr("DTPassword").ToString) Then
                    Response.Redirect("Broadcast.aspx")

                ElseIf (user <> Dr("DTLoginID").ToString Or pwd <> Dr("DTPassword").ToString) Then
                    Me.lblError.Text = "Invalid Username/Password; Please Try Again"
                    Count = Count + 1

                    'ElseIf (user <> Dr("DTLoginID").ToString And pwd = Dr("DTPassword").ToString) And Count <= 3 Then
                    ' Me.lblError.Text = "Invalid Username/Password; Please Try Again"
                    ' Count = Count + 1
                End If
            ElseIf Count < 3 Then
                Response.Redirect("ForgotPwd.aspx")
            End If
            lblCount.Text = Count
        End While



    End Sub

THANKS Bunches :D

A: Don't you mean to test it this way?

            If Count < 3 Then
                ...
            ElseIf Count = 3 Then
                Response.Redirect("ForgotPwd.aspx")
            End If

B: Where are you retrieving the count value from the textbox? You probably should have something like this:

Dim Count As Integer = 0
If lblCount.Text.Length > 0 Then
     Count = CType(lblCount.Text, Integer)
End If

Plz add one hidden field in your .aspx page like this
<input type="hidden" name="hidCount" value="0" runat="server" ID="hidCount">
.change the values and names here and it will work fine.
---------------------------------------
        Dim strUserName As String
        Dim struserPass As String
        Dim LoginLount As Int32

        strUserName = txtUser.Text
        struserPass = txtPassword.Text

        LoginLount = 0

        If (strUserName = "Nash" And struserPass = "Nash") Then 'Chech here if the values mactes from db redired to sucess page
            Response.Redirect("successpage.aspx")
        ElseIf (strUserName <> "Nash" Or struserPass <> "Nash") Then 'if values doesnt match

            hidCount.Value = hidCount.Value + 1
            LoginLount = hidCount.Value
            If (Convert.ToInt32(LoginLount) > 3) Then
                Response.Redirect("Forgotpasspage.aspx")
            Else
                Label1.Text = "Wrong userName or Password"
            End If
        End If

-------------------

Thanks
