Password authentication

[Roy Gourgi]

HI,

Why is this password authentication not working as I am sending? I am trying
to change the password and yet it is not working. What am I doing wrong?

TIA

Roy

using System;

public class Authenticator

{

private string Password;

public bool IsPasswordCorre ct(string password)

{

return (password == Password) ? true : false;

}

public bool ChangePassword( string oldPassword, string newPassword)

{

if (oldPassword == Password)

{

Password = newPassword;

Console.WriteLi ne("Inside EQUAL {0} ",Password) ;

Console.ReadLin e();

return true;

}

else

{

Console.WriteLi ne("Inside NOT EQUAL {0} ",Password) ;

Console.ReadLin e();

return false;

}
}

}

class clsMain

{

static void Main()

{

Authenticator Simon = new Authenticator() ;

bool Done;

Done= Simon.ChangePas sword("", "MyNewPassword" );

if (Done==true)

Console.WriteLi ne("password for Simon changed");

else

Console.WriteLi ne("Failed to change password for Simon");
if (Simon.IsPasswo rdCorrect("what pw"))

Console.WriteLi ne("Verified ");

else

Console.WriteLi ne("NOT Verified ");

Console.ReadLin e();

}

}

Authenticator Simon = new Authenticator() ;

bool Done;

Done= Simon.ChangePas sword("", "MyNewPassword" );

I assume Done is returning false. That is because you are comparing an empty
length string to a null string, which will return false;

Hi,
Yes that is right it is returning false. So how would I do it. I took this
example straight out of a book. So much for that. :)

you can declare Password as private string Password = "";
