Create a "Windows Forms Application" project Add a new form. By default, it will have a name of "Form2" Add 2 labels, 2 textboxes, and 2 buttons like the one shown below: open the first form (Form1) and double click on the empty space. This should show the Form1_Load event. Declare an instance of Form2 and display it. (Use ShowDialog instead of Show). Open the second form (Form2) and view the properties of the second textfield (password text box). Specify * in the PasswordChar attribute.  Double click on the Login button. This will show the button1_click event. Put all necessary checking here like the one shown. **You can change the checking part to comparing the values with your database. For example: OleDbConnection cn = new OleDbConnection("YourConnectionString"); cn.Open(); DataTable dt = new DataTable(); OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand("select * from usertable where username='"+textBox1.Text+"' and password='...

Before I give my opinion on this, let us try to define first what is K12.  K12 is a term used in education from the first world countries. It refers to grades from kindergarten (K) and the 1st through the 12th grade (1-12). This setup might be familiar with other people. It is even a normal setup for many. However, in the Philippines, it is a different setting. Primary education here starts from nursery up to kindergarten. There's nursery 1 and 2, kindergarten 1 and 2, grades 1 to 6, and for the high school, it's from 1st year to 4th year. The following is a usual age mapping for these education levels: Age     Level 3         Nursery 1 4         Nursery 2 5         Kinder 1 6         Kinder 2 7         Grade 1 8         Grade 2 9         Grade 3 10       Grade 4 11       Grade 5 12 ...

It's quite easy creating a simple information system with Firebird and C# express 2008. You will need the following to do this: 1. Firebird RDBMS (The latest release as of this post is 2.1.3) 2. EMS IBManager Lite (The freeware version. There are other Free Firebird IDE that you can use but for me, this one is the most user-friendly) 3. Microsoft C# Express 2008 (This can be downloaded at the Microsoft Website) 4. Firebird .Net Provider Creating the database: 1. Create a database in EMS IBManager Lite We'll create a table for recording our Gold IRA Deposits. An IRA is a retirement account that can be used by an employed person. It can be in various form. One of which is an IRA Gold in which instead of money being deposited, you deposit gold. It can be a gold coin. Preferably, it would be good to deposit high value items such as a 401k Gold . Use the following for the fields. Be sure to edit the ID field to have an autoincrement va...

Firebird SQL Database has been existing for so long already. However, not many have created a free and open source Firebird tool or IDE that is really easy to use. Developers are forced to use commercial ones because the free and open source in my opinion are not user-friendly at all. It's just ironic that a very good free and open source DBMS lacks decent free and open source IDE. I would like to create one and post it at sourceforge but I'm not that skilled yet. Hopefully soon. In the meantime, let's just enumerate the existing Firebird Tools currently being used by developers. 1. FlameRobin 2. EMS for Interbase and Firebird Lite 3. IBExpert 4. Lazarus 5. Firebird Maestro Of these, I like the EMS IDE.
