Visual Basic - User Registration

In this video i will show you guys how to create a user registration form and a login form that will use the settings option in visual basic.
If you're going to allow multiple user registration this method is not suggested so you would want to use a database for that.
This is good for if you want to use it for your own personal project or if you're handing it out to a couple friends and they use it for their personal use.
I wont be hard coding the username or password, this i where the settings come in to play.
We will also determine on the form load event if there's a user that's been registered to show the login form otherwise display the registration form.
This will not allow someone else in your home to register a account and see what you have on your program.

@MrBOBMAN567 lol, i think it works pretty well as a single based user auth

How can you reset the settings to test again, say putting the status back to false?

If I have a look at the settingspage nothing has changed there, so where is the data then stored, so I can reset it?

Thanks for the reply

Great video by the way

@marcbelgium1 You can just put a button on the form and in the Click event just put

My.Settings.Status = False

My.Settings.Save()

Application.Restart()

That will set the Status to False, the Settings will Save and the application will restart.

You can use a label and in the form load event type

Label1.Text = My.Settings.Status
