Hello,

  i have one form to accept userid and password. After clicking the button, first perform client validations. If success perform the database checkup. How can i do this.
Which controls should i use
<input type="text" id="txtUID" runat="server" />
or
<asp:textbox id="txtuid" runat="server" />

What is the difference b/w these two. When to use input and asp:
I am just learning dotNET


Thanx in advance

You should usually use the server controls (<asp:...). Those objects have all the serverside functions you need. If you just tack on "runat=server" to an HTML tag, you won't have the convenience of the server controls.

Hello,

  I also have the same question. After checking username and password at client side, how to code for database processing to verify correct userid and password. If eithr of is not correct the form should show again to enter new... Previously in classic asp i coded two pages for login and loginverify. In asp its not necessary to code in two pages.
Can you plese guide me abt this?

In the event handler for the login process, you just need to do something that indicates that the login is bad. Usually this is achieved with a simple label that you make visible. You don't have to do much more than that.

why r u not using vailidation controls
