hi am new to asp.net n trying to build a website..
i want to make a login form and it should check the correct username and password...
but nt getting how to do it..
here is the code that i have tried for it...


Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        'Put user code to initialize the page here
        Response.Buffer = True
        Response.Expires = -1000
    End Sub

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
        If Request.Form("submit") = "submit" Then
            checkloginform()
        Else
            showloginform()
        End If
    End Sub
    Sub checkloginform()
        If Request.Form("username") = "administrator" And Request.Form("password") = "password" Then
            Session("blnloggedin") = True
            Response.Redirect("confidential.aspx")
        Else
            Response.Write("<div align='center'>You are not logged in.</div><br>")
            Dim str As String
            str = "The username and password entered by you doesnot match"
            Response.Write(str)
            showloginform()
        End If
    End Sub
    Sub showloginform()

    End Sub

also the name of my textboxes is textbox1 and textbox2 for username and password respectively...
and the button name is button1..
hope anyone can help me...
thnx in advance

why dont you just see
if(TextBox1.Text == "whatever" & TextBox2.Text == "whatever")
{

Set Session
Redirect

}
else
{

Inform user of invalid login

}

Or better yet, use the built-in security features from ASP.NET 2.0:
