Login – Putting concepts to practise
After learning the concept of OLEDB, i put it into practise; successfully making my first database connection, i knew this project is going to become a whole lot easier and rewarding!
Creating a dummy database, i was able to retrieve data and successfully check against the “dataset”!! and then have some pure vb code to put into practis my color scheme login idea!
My First Form!!
After deciding to fall back on vb.net, my first form would be my login form, which i have concluded will not be a traditional username and password concept, but rather a combination code that will be inputted.
The Combination code is still a password, but that is the only thing the user will enter; the combination code will be a unique 5 digit code (meaning up to 59049 unique codes can be generated with only 5 digit characters)
Once the user enters this code and clicks the confirm button, i plan for the coding to go to a database, and check if that same combination code is within the database. If it is successful, then the user can enter the program, else, they will loose a chance (4 to begin with) and must enter thier combination code again.
If the user fails the combination test, to warn them of this, i thought to change the color scheme of the screen; every time the user fails, the color scheme would gradually change to a hazardous warning color scheme, if the user continues to fail, and surpasses the 4 chance limit, then the whole system would shut down.
