To solve this 1) you have keep a login history table say login_history (table Name) . 2) Each time whenever the User Login into the system the table should be Updated or Inserted (i.e.) Login and Logout Time and Date Should be Updated and Inserted. 3) In the Login History table Keep a column for Computer OS Browser. 4) While Login into the System Get the Current Browser in which the User Log's In and OS too. Update the values into the History Table. 5) When next time when the same User Log's In Check already the Browser and OS is registered for the same User. In SQL Side. 6) Get the Result in a bool and based on the value display the Message. Eg of Checking SQL select count(1) from login_history where OS=@os and BROWSER=@browser and USERID=@user_id Hope this may help you. Thanks in Advance.
