Showing username and userlevel after login.

Question

I have an access db which have 4 fields 1. id 2. Username 3. Password 4. user level and 2 forms. One is login and other is main. I want to show the username and userlevel in main form in two labels after login. So user can know which is his id and user level. And i want to control some functions enable or disable by userlevel. How can i do it. Please help me.

For quick test I created a FormParent (and set property IsMdiContainer to true) and created another form called Login. In this case I have statusStrip control that holds two labels - one for username and another for userlevel. I have one method called UpdateStatus on Parent/MDI form that updates these labels. And later on login form once login is successful you can call the public method to update the statusStrip accordingly. public partial class FormParent : Form { public FormParent() { InitializeComponent(); var login = new Login(); login.MdiParent = this ; login.Show(); } public void UpdateStatus( string username string userlevel) { this .toolStripStatusLabel1.Text = $ User: {username} |  ; this .toolStripStatusLabel2.Text = $ Level: {userlevel} ; this .statusStrip1.Refresh(); } } Login form contains the textboxes and button and on button click it just calls the public method to update if login is successful. public partial class Login : Form { public Login() { InitializeComponent(); } private void button1_Click( object sender EventArgs e) { //some logic to validate credentials ((FormParent) this .MdiParent).UpdateStatus(textBox1.Text Level 1 ); var someForm = new Form1(); someForm.MdiParent = this .MdiParent; someForm.Show(); this .Close(); } } After clicking on Login button

Hi Mithila In your login form declare a variable globally public static string UserName = ; In your login button write the below code private void button1_Click( object sender EventArgs e) { UserName = txtUserName.Text; Form1 f1 = new Form1(); f1.ShowDialog(); } In your main form i am getting this variable valueplease find the below code for your reference private void Form1_Load( object sender System.EventArgs e) { MessageBox.Show(Login.UserName.ToString()); } To know more about please refer this URL http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/834980/how-to-pass-data-from-one-form-to-other-form-in-windows-form/
