Hello,
I am programming in Visual Basic .NET. I have seen examples of creating a
login form to use for users to type in their username and password, but I
want to accomplish the same thing with a pop-up dialog box instead. How can
I make my program bring up a pop-up login dialog box for a user to type in
username and password?
Thanks,
Dusty

You can call a login form as a dialog box with the following code:
Dim frmNewDownload As New frmDownload
frmNewDownload. ShowDialog()
That will give your users a dialog box but still allow you to design the
form to your specs.

If you are using VS 2005:
Select "Project" -> "Add new item..." -> "Login Form" -> "Add". Then use
the following code to display the login dialog:
\\\
Using f As New LoginForm()
If f.ShowDialog = DialogResult.OK Then
Password = f.PasswordTextB ox.Text
Username = f.UsernameTextB ox.Text
End If
End Using

Herfried,
\\\
Using f As New LoginForm()
If f.ShowDialog = DialogResult.OK Then
Password = f.PasswordTextB ox.Text
Username = f.UsernameTextB ox.Text
End If
End Using
///
It sound strange, however normally it will not needed ot return the
password, that can be checked in the dialog itself. An Ok is more than
enough and than in the code.
If f.showdialog <> dialogresult.OK me.close
A typical question for you. How do I get rit of that error warning (shared
member) with this in VB2005?

Dusty,
Ever thought doing it without a Login, your users will be glad with you http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...nroletopic.asp

Mhm... So you think it's a good idea to return 'DialogResult.O K' to
represent valid login data? I do not like this idea. The value of
'DialogResult' should IMO be set by the button selected on the form.

You don't need that password in your application, so why would you than get
it in that, you only need to verify that the user is a right one. (It can be
that you with this system have to transport back his/hers rights however
that is something else). A typical question for you. How do I get rit of that error warning
(shared member) with this in VB2005?

Sorry not an error warning, one of those that you like so much a 'warning'.
(which means not like so much)
(Access to a shared member etc)
Windows.Forms.D ialogResult.OK
'gives no warning
DialogResult.OK
'gives warning

This depends on the case. Maybe you need the password when establishing a
connection to a database. I would not place the database-related code
inside the login dialog. A typical question for you. How do I get rit of that error warning
(shared member) with this in VB2005?

DialogResult.OK

That's interesting. I currently only have the August CTP at hand, but the
code compiles just fine without a warning inside a form, althout the warning
is enabled. However, according to the IDE 'DialogResult' is resolved to the
form's property instead of the enumeration.

You get it forever from the database otherwise you can use the
IsInRoleMethod. In my opinion is the logic about the checking the best
placed in that login class (in a seperated DLL) and not spread over a kind
of main class. While you use in that login class of course the logic from
your database layer class(es).
Just my thought,

Yep, but the login dialog is part of the presentation layer and doesn't
belong to the data layer. And, finally you have to pass login data to the
data layer to establish the connection, for example.

I'm playing with a little generic linked list/stack library, and have a
little problem with the interface of the pop() function. If I used a

Howdy Folks,
I was just playing around in IDLE at the interactive prompt and typed
in dir({}) for the fun of it. I was quite surprised to see a pop
method defined there. I mean is that a misnomer or what? From the
literature, pop is supposed to be an operation defined for a stack
data structure. A stack is defined to be an "ordered" list data
structure. Dictionaries in Python have no order but are sequences.
Now, does anyone know...

With pop() you remove the last element of a list and return its value:
