Hi
 I am building an application and as part of it I am implementing a login form as described in the book.

The code I have is copied directly from the text book with the only modifications being some names.

If I type in a User name and a password and then click ok, the code goes away and validates the user correctly. However, then it just sits there. Looking at your sample code, I don't see what is supposed to happen?, that is, int the btn_ok click event, there is no code to close the form down... I am obviously missing something here.

It will only work correctly if I type in the userid and then the password and then hit the "Enter Key".

Also, while I see code that counts the number of times a user attempts to login, there doesnt appear to be any event to verify more than 3 attempts and close the form down?

The code I am referring too is in chapter 12, pages 404 - 406.

I have looked through the errata and there is nothing that I can see there. Do you have any idea as to what I am missing?

thanks

Ok, after lots of fiddling around I have created the database and got the code working as downloaded from this site.

In the example code, after pressing ok, the code goes through and validates the user etc etc...

Then at the end of the btn_ok event, it does all the dispose routines.

Then for some reason it raises the form closing event.

So yours works fine. However I have all the same code, sam classes, same disposing events, yet my form_closing event doesnt fire???

The login form I am using is auto generated from the template (ie add new item --> login form).

Is there a setting on this form I need to set?

Very confused, has anyone got any ideas?

thanks

You'll need to set the DialogResult property for the OK and Cancel buttons in the designer.
