public bool validateuser(User u)
{
bool result = true;
try
{
string validateq = "select count(*) from register where user.username = @username and user.password = @passwd ";
cmd = new SqlCommand(validateq, con);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@username", u.username);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@passwd", u.password);
con.Open();
reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();
reader.Read();
int r = Convert.ToInt32(reader[0]);
if (r > 0)
{
result = true;
}
else
{
result = false;
}
