Thanks for responding. This application is a commercial windows mobile
app that is sync'ed with a desktop client / SQL. The end user can set
up in the desktop app user profiles, names, passwords, and roles
specific to the application.
I actually got it to work with a revision to my code:
Private Sub Submit_Click(By Val sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles Submit.Click
vUserName = Me.UserCombo.Te xt 'set variable for use later in
the app
'MsgBox(vUserNa me)
Me.UsersTableAd apter.GetPasswo rd(UserDataSet. Users, vUserName)
Dim vPassword1 As String
Dim vPassword2 As String
Dim compare As StringCompariso n
Dim i As Boolean
vPassword1 = Me.hiddenpasswo rd.Text
vPassword2 = Me.UserPassword .Text
'MsgBox(vPasswo rd2)
i = String.Equals(v Password1, vPassword2, compare)
If i = False Then
MessageBox.Show ("Login Failed. Please try again.",
"Login", MessageBoxButto ns.OK, MessageBoxIcon. Exclamation,
MessageBoxDefau ltButton.Button 1)
'refill the username list with all options
Me.UsersTableAd apter.Fill(User DataSet.Users)
Else
Dim frmMainMenu As New SystemMenu 'create the system menu
class
frmMainMenu.Sho w()
End If
End Sub
I am fairly new to VB.net so any feedback would be appreciated!!!

ryan,
Why are you using passwords (assuming that it is for a window application)
and not the integrated windows validation?

i am storing a usernames and passwords in a table called Users.
I present a login form to the user when my application starts up
(VB.NET, .NET CF, Windows Mobile 5)
The user chooses a username from a combo box that queries the Users
table. Then they type in a password string.
I then use the following code to validate the string when the user
clicks on the Submit menu item
Private Sub Submit_Click(By Val sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles Submit.Click
vUserName = Me.UserCombo.Te xt 'set variable for use later in
the app
'MsgBox(vUserNa me)
Dim vPassword2 As String
vPassword2 =
CStr(Me.UsersTa bleAdapter.GetP assword(UserDat aSet.Users, vUserName))
'MsgBox(vPasswo rd2)
If vPassword2 <Me.UserPasswor d.Text Then
MessageBox.Show ("Login Failed. Please try again.",
"Login", MessageBoxButto ns.OK, MessageBoxIcon. Exclamation,
MessageBoxDefau ltButton.Button 1)
'refill the username list with all options
Me.UsersTableAd apter.Fill(User DataSet.Users)
Else
Dim frmMainMenu As New SystemMenu 'create the system menu
class
frmMainMenu.Sho w()
End If
End Sub
I am not able to get this to compare and validate the password string.
any advice, comments or experience would be most appreciated.
