03 Jan 2014 Mudassar Khan 28 Comments 512013 Views
ASP.Net

Here Mudassar Ahmed Khan has explained how to build a

simple user registration form that will allow user register
to the website in ASP.Net using C# and VB.Net.

User will fill up the registration form with details such as

username, password, email address, etc. and these details
will be saved in the database table.

The registration form will also make sure that duplicate

username and email addresses are not saved by verifying
whether username and email address must not exists in
the table.

In this article I will explain how to build a simple user registration form that will allow user register to
the website in ASP.Net using C# and VB.Net.
User will fill up the registration form with details such as username, password, email address, etc. and
these details will be saved in the database table.
The registration form will also make sure that duplicate username and email addresses are not saved
by verifying whether username and email address must not exists in the table.

Database
For this article I have created a new database named LoginDB which contains the following table
named Users in it.

In the above table column UserId is set as primary key and it Identity property is set to true.
Note: The SQL for creating the database is provided in the attached sample code.

HTML Markup
The HTML Markup consists of some TextBox, their corresponding Validators and a Button. Other than
RequiredField Validators theres a CompareValidator to compare passwords and a
RegularExpressionValidator to validate email address.
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<th colspan="3">
Registration
</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
Username
</td>
<td>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtUsername" runat="server" />
</td>
<td>
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ErrorMessage="Required" ForeColor="Red"
ControlToValidate="txtUsername"
runat="server" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
Password
</td>
<td>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtPassword" runat="server" TextMode="Password" />
</td>
<td>
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ErrorMessage="Required" ForeColor="Red"
ControlToValidate="txtPassword"
runat="server" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
Confirm Password
</td>
<td>
 <asp:TextBox ID="txtConfirmPassword" runat="server"
TextMode="Password" />
</td>
<td>
<asp:CompareValidator ErrorMessage="Passwords do not match."
ForeColor="Red" ControlToCompare="txtPassword"
ControlToValidate="txtConfirmPassword" runat="server" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
Email
</td>
<td>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtEmail" runat="server" />
</td>
<td>
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ErrorMessage="Required"
Display="Dynamic" ForeColor="Red"
ControlToValidate="txtEmail" runat="server" />
<asp:RegularExpressionValidator runat="server" Display="Dynamic"
ValidationExpression="\w+([-+.']\w+)*@\w+([-.]\w+)*\.\w+([-.]\w+)*"
ControlToValidate="txtEmail" ForeColor="Red"
ErrorMessage="Invalid email address." />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
</td>
<td>
<asp:Button Text="Submit" runat="server" OnClick="RegisterUser" />
</td>
<td>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Stored Procedure to insert the User details

The following stored procedure is used to insert the user details such as username, password and
email address.
The stored procedure first checks whether the username supplied already exists, if yes then it will
return negative 1 value.
Then the stored procedure checks whether the email address supplied already exists, if yes then it will
return negative 2 value.
If both username and email address are valid then the record will be inserted and the auto-generated
UserId will be returned by the stored procedure.
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[Insert_User]
@Username NVARCHAR(20),
@Password NVARCHAR(20),
@Email NVARCHAR(30)
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
IF EXISTS(SELECT UserId FROM Users WHERE Username = @Username)
BEGIN
SELECT -1 -- Username exists.
END
ELSE IF EXISTS(SELECT UserId FROM Users WHERE Email = @Email)
BEGIN
SELECT -2 -- Email exists.
END
ELSE
BEGIN
INSERT INTO [Users]
([Username]
,[Password]
,[Email]
,[CreatedDate])
VALUES
(@Username
,@Password
,@Email
,GETDATE())

SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY() -- UserId

END
END

Namespaces
You will need to import the following namespaces.
C#
using System.Data;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Data.SqlClient;

VB.Net
Imports System.Data
Imports System.Configuration
Imports System.Data.SqlClient

Inserting the User Details

The following event handler is raised when the submit button is clicked, here the values from the
Registration Forms TextBoxes are passed to the stored procedure and the stored procedure is
executed.
The return value from the stored procedure is captured in a variable and then based on its value
appropriate message is displayed using JavaScript Alert message box.
C#
protected void RegisterUser(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
int userId = 0;
string constr =
ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["constr"].ConnectionString;
 using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(constr))
{
using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("Insert_User"))
{
using (SqlDataAdapter sda = new SqlDataAdapter())
{
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Username",
txtUsername.Text.Trim());
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Password",
txtPassword.Text.Trim());
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Email", txtEmail.Text.Trim());
cmd.Connection = con;
con.Open();
userId = Convert.ToInt32(cmd.ExecuteScalar());
con.Close();
}
}
string message = string.Empty;
switch (userId)
{
case -1:
message = "Username already exists.\\nPlease choose a different
username.";
break;
case -2:
message = "Supplied email address has already been used.";
break;
default:
message = "Registration successful.\\nUser Id: " +
userId.ToString();
break;
}
ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(GetType(), "alert", "alert('" +
message + "');", true);
}
}

VB.Net
Protected Sub RegisterUser(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
Dim userId As Integer = 0
Dim constr As String =
ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("constr").ConnectionString
Using con As New SqlConnection(constr)
Using cmd As New SqlCommand("Insert_User")
Using sda As New SqlDataAdapter()
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Username",
txtUsername.Text.Trim())
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Password",
txtPassword.Text.Trim())
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Email", txtEmail.Text.Trim())
cmd.Connection = con
con.Open()
userId = Convert.ToInt32(cmd.ExecuteScalar())
con.Close()
End Using
End Using
Dim message As String = String.Empty
Select Case userId
Case -1
message = "Username already exists.\nPlease choose a different
username."
 Exit Select
Case -2
message = "Supplied email address has already been used."
Exit Select
Case Else
message = "Registration successful.\nUser Id: " +
userId.ToString()
Exit Select
End Select
ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript([GetType](), "alert",
(Convert.ToString("alert('") & message) + "');", True)
End Using
End Sub

Message Box when registration is successful

Message Box when username already exists

Message Box when email address already exists
