Login and registration process in WPF application

Introduction: In this article I am creating a simple application for login and registration using WPF in visual studio 2010. In this application I am creating two window forms one is for Registration and another is for login. First of all user will register after then he/she can login.
Now I am going to discuss in brief about this application.

Step1: Open Visual Studio 2010 -> File -> New -> Project.
New project template will display and select WPF Application like as follows:

Figure 1:

Step 2: Enter your project name and click on OK button. Step 3: You will get the MainWindow.xaml window form, if you want to change then rename it and also change the StartupUri property of application into App.xaml like as follows: App.xaml:
<Application x:Class="Login_WPF.App" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" StartupUri="Registration.xaml"> <Application.Resources></Application.Resources> </Application>

Step 4: Now design your Registration page as figure 2 or copy and page following inline code. Registration.xaml:
<Window x:Class="Login_WPF.Registration" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" Title="Registration" Height="387" Width="528" Background="Black"> <Grid Height="350" Width="525" Background="Bisque"> <TextBlock Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="10,5,0,0" Name="textBlockHeading" Text="Registration:" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="110" FontSize="17" FontStretch="ExtraCondensed"/> <!--Button as a Link button using style--> <Button Margin="451,5,12,288" Content="Login" Cursor="Hand" Click="Login_Click"> <Button.Template> <ControlTemplate TargetType="Button"> <TextBlock TextDecorations="Underline"> <ContentPresenter /> </TextBlock> </ControlTemplate> </Button.Template> <Button.Style> <Style TargetType="Button"> <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Navy" /> <Style.Triggers> <Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="true"> <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Red" /> </Trigger> </Style.Triggers> </Style> </Button.Style> </Button> <!--end Button as a Link button using style--> <Grid Margin="31,0,29,23" Background="White" Height="264" VerticalAlignment="Bottom"> <Grid.RowDefinitions>

<RowDefinition Height="252*" /> <!-- <RowDefinition Height="12*" />--> </Grid.RowDefinitions> <TextBlock Height="20" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="67,0,0,0" x:Name ="errormessage" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="247" OpacityMask="Crimson" Foreground="#FFE5572C" /> <TextBlock Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="67,20,0,0" Name="textBlockFirstname" Text="First Name:" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="110" /> <TextBlock Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="67,50,0,0" Name="textBlockLastName" Text="Last Name:" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="110" /> <TextBlock Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="67,80,0,0" Name="textBlockEmailId" Text="EmailId" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="110" /> <TextBlock Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="67,107,0,0" Name="textBlockPassword" Text="Password:" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="110" /> <TextBlock Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="67,136,0,0" Name="textBlockConfirmPwd" Text="ConfirmPassword:" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="110" Grid.RowSpan="2" /> <TextBlock Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="67,166,0,0" Name="textBlockAddress" Text="Address" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="110" /> <TextBox Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="183,20,0,0" Name="textBoxFirstName" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="222" /> <TextBox Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="183,50,0,0" Name="textBoxLastName" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="222" /> <TextBox Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="183,80,0,0" Name="textBoxEmail" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="222" /> <PasswordBox Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="183,107,0,0" Name="passwordBox1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="222" /> <!--For password--> <PasswordBox Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="183,136,0,0" Name="passwordBoxConfirm" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="222" /> <TextBox Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="183,0,0,66" Name="textBoxAddress" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Width="222" /> <Button Content="Submit" Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="183,204,0,0" Name="Submit" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="70" Click="Submit_Click" /> <Button Content="Reset" Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="259,204,0,0" Name="button2" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="70" Click="button2_Click" /> <Button Content="Cancel" Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Margin="0,204,60,0" Name="button3" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="70" Click="button3_Click" /> </Grid> </Grid> </Window>

Figure 2: Registration form

Registration.xaml.cs: using System;

using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Windows; using System.Windows.Controls; using System.Windows.Data; using System.Windows.Documents; using System.Windows.Input; using System.Windows.Media; using System.Windows.Media.Imaging; using System.Windows.Shapes; using System.Data; using System.Data.SqlClient; using System.Text.RegularExpressions; namespace Login_WPF { /// <summary> /// Interaction logic for Registration.xaml /// </summary> public partial class Registration : Window { public Registration() {

InitializeComponent(); } private void Login_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { Login login = new Login(); login.Show(); Close(); } private void button2_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { Reset(); } public void Reset() { textBoxFirstName.Text = ""; textBoxLastName.Text = ""; textBoxEmail.Text = ""; textBoxAddress.Text = ""; passwordBox1.Password = ""; passwordBoxConfirm.Password = ""; } private void button3_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { Close(); } private void Submit_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { if (textBoxEmail.Text.Length == 0) { errormessage.Text = "Enter an email."; textBoxEmail.Focus(); } else if (!Regex.IsMatch(textBoxEmail.Text, @"^[a-zA-Z][\w\.-]*[a-zA-Z0-9]@[a-zA-Z0-9][\w\.-]*[a-zAZ0-9]\.[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z\.]*[a-zA-Z]$")) { errormessage.Text = "Enter a valid email."; textBoxEmail.Select(0, textBoxEmail.Text.Length); textBoxEmail.Focus(); } else { string firstname = textBoxFirstName.Text; string lastname = textBoxLastName.Text; string email = textBoxEmail.Text; string password = passwordBox1.Password; if (passwordBox1.Password.Length == 0) { errormessage.Text = "Enter password."; passwordBox1.Focus(); } else if (passwordBoxConfirm.Password.Length == 0) {

errormessage.Text = "Enter Confirm password."; passwordBoxConfirm.Focus(); } else if (passwordBox1.Password != passwordBoxConfirm.Password) { errormessage.Text = "Confirm password must be same as password."; passwordBoxConfirm.Focus(); } else { errormessage.Text = ""; string address = textBoxAddress.Text; SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection("Data Source=TESTPURU;Initial Catalog=Data;User ID=sa;Password=wintellect"); con.Open(); SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("Insert into Registration (FirstName,LastName,Email,Password,Address) values('" + firstname + "','" + lastname + "','" + email + "','" + password + "','" + address + "')", con); cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text; cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); con.Close(); errormessage.Text = "You have Registered successfully."; Reset(); } } } } } Now I am taking another form for login as follows:
