Login system

[JakeWindu]

I am making a program with a login system, but I cannot get the login part to work.

This is what I tried:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void Login_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (txtuser = "magic" & txtpass = "magic" Form2.ShowDialog;
            else MessageBox.Show("Login failed");
        }
    }
}

But it didnt work.

How can I make a login system that works?

Well, for the reason this particular code isn't working, could be to do with a missing bracket.

Try this.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void Login_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (txtuser = "magic" & txtpass = "magic") Form2.ShowDialog;
            else MessageBox.Show("Login failed");
        }
    }
}

Cool!
That got rid of one error

It still as this error: Error 1 Operator '&' cannot be applied to operands of type 'string' and 'System.Windows.Forms.TextBox' C:\Users\McKinlay\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\WindowsFormsApplication1\WindowsForm sApplication1\Form1.cs 21 27 WindowsFormsApplication1

and this error:Error 2 Only assignment, call, increment, decrement, and new object expressions can be used as a statement C:\Users\McKinlay\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\WindowsFormsApplication1\WindowsForm sApplication1\Form1.cs 21 56 WindowsFormsApplication1

You can't use & to compare two booleans you need to use &&.

You also need to create an instance of Form2 before you actually call one of its methods. I also added brackets to make things easier.

And also when your comparing things you need to use double equal signs.

Your code should look like this.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void Login_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (txtuser == "magic" && txtpass == "magic")
            { 
                 Form2 f2 = new Form2();
                 f2.ShowDialog();
            }
            else
            {            
                 MessageBox.Show("Login failed");
            }
        }
    }
