Hi chirag, I failed to run your code in a Windows Form, in spite of creating one Entity data Model named "testchiragentities" based on a database named "testchirag" with one table named "Login". also, what I need is to log in an existing user, and not to register a new one. So I need a form with 2 text boxes 2 labels and 1 Button which sould run the code uppon click Event. The code as used is the next: //User name came from UserInput string UserName = "chirag"; bool IsUserAlreadyExist = false; { //Entity FrameWork Object using (testchiragEntities repository = new testchiragEntities()) //Check whether User name already exist in database IsUserAlreadyExist = repository.Login.Where(x => x.LoginUserName == UserName).Count() > 0; } //true : false; //if user already exist then show un successfull message if (IsUserAlreadyExist) MessageBox.Show("Username already exist! please use another username"); else //if user no exist then show welcome message MessageBox.Show("Welcome to site!"); } Thank you for your help

Hi I have given test example. testchiragEntities is my ADO.NET Entity Data Model,So for your scenario you have to make your own. Following are steps to create it 1) You have create one solution and right click on solution. Add new Item select data Template from left panel then create ADO.NET Entity Data Model (.edmx) file. 2) Go throgh a step and attach with your database i have Login table in my database. 3) Then after creating your EDMX file now you can access you table with strongly type in coding(In my case i have test database name="testchirag" and one table name Login) one more thing and if you are using window base application then put code in static void Main( string [] args) {}

@Chirag, I have got: "Error 1 A namespace cannot directly contain members such as fields or methods" for: string UserName = "chirag";bool IsUserAlreadyExist = false; and got: "Error 3 Expected class, delegate, enum, interface, or struct" for: "using ( testchiragEntities repository = new testchiragEntities ())"
