hiii chk following code //for this i used access database and assume you have two txtboxes to take input for Name and Password resp. oledbConnection conn = new OleDbConnection(strConn); //strConn is your connectionString string strQuery = Select NamePassword from Login; //Table Name : Login with two Clmns:Name and Password conn.open(); oledbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand(strQueryconn); oledbAdapter adapter = new OleDbAdapter(cmd); dataset ds = new dataset(); adapter.Fill(ds); conn.close(); //declare these variables at beginning string strName; string strPassword; string strNameText; string strPassText; strNameText = txtName.Text; //textbox from where you r taking i/p strPassText = txtPassword.text; if(ds.tables[0].rows.count>0) { for(int i=0;i { strName = convert.ToString(ds.tables[0].rows[i][Name].tostring()); //fetch Name clm from db strPasword = convert.ToString(ds.tables[0].rows[i][Password].tostring()); if(strNameText == strName && strPassText == strPasword) { //correct; } else { //incorrect } } }

First you need a stored procedure in the database responding with a record if the username and password are correct. Creat this: CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo] . [GetUserInfo] @username varchar ( 10 ) @pwd varchar ( 10 ) AS BEGIN select userid  username  email from users where userid = @username and pwd = @pwd END Then you need to invoke that procedure from your form. Put this in your click event: try { using ( SqlConnection c = new SqlConnection (c_string)) { using ( SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand ( GetUserInfo  c)) { cmd.CommandType = CommandType .StoredProcedure; cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue( @UserId  value_from_textbox1); cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue( @Pwd  value_from_textbox2); using ( DataSet dsUser = new DataSet ()) { u sing (System.Data.SqlClient. SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter (cmd)) { c.Open(); da.Fill(dsUser); c.Close(); // dsUser should contain of one row } } } } } catch ( Exception rror) { throw new Exception ( Couldn't fetch user from database. Msg:  + rror.Message); } If you get a datarow back from the database your user has been validated. This is very simple described but I'll guess you get the point.
