Help with StreamReader

Brad

Been coding for about 3 months now and am currently making a "login" client for myself. I hve created a streamreader and have linked it to a .txt file which is located on my hardrive and i am struggling to get it to read of multiple lines so i can have more than one user. This is the code i have at the moment Public Class Form1 Dim webe As New ProcessStartInfo() Dim username1 As New IO.StreamReader("C:\Textfile.txt") Private Sub Login_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Login.Click If Username.Text & Password.Text = username1.ReadToEnd & "lol" Or Username.Text & Password.Text = "Admin" & "admin" Then StatusStrip.Text = "Welcome " & Username.Text Thanks In Advance

Text file suppose to have more than one record there fore you should read the values inside a loop. Please see example below. The shown code sample below suppse to be inside Login_Click procedure :wtf:

Dim webe As New ProcessStartInfo()
Dim username1 As New IO.StreamReader("C:\Textfile.txt")

Do While NOT UserName.EndOfStream
   If UserName1.ReadLine() = UserName.Text.toString & PassWord.Text.ToString Then
      'login information exist perform some type of actions
      exit do
   ElseIf UserName.Text & PassWord.Text = "Admin" & "admin" Then
      StatusStrip.text = "WelCome" & userName.Text
   End IF
Loop
UserName1.Close()

I added in your code and i seen to be getting this error under the "Username.EndOfReader" 'EndofReader is not a members of the windows.form.textbox' Another expection i am getting is the "exit loop" is thrwoing an exception, 'exit must be followed by sub, function, property etc etc etc' I have tried to play about with it but still struggling with working it out.

Sorry my mistake... Convert .text.toString and then use exit do also Replace EndOfReader with EndOfStream... I apologize... :doh:

Because you are making a mistake as follows: When you close the first stream therefore without reopening it you can't define UserName1 inside the second stream because its closed. Your approach to check username, password, etc. seems not appripriate. I suggest you to reorganize your code. :wtf:
