Visual basic help ?

Question

Hey guys.
I am really stuck using visual basic. My college tutor has us using this software called visual basic to create a MIS.
I am trying to create a password and username log in screen.
I have thus far, created the username and password buttons to log in, with the "if" statments. I am struggling on how to create the code to give the user an option to change the password after they have logged in.

I am trying to implement the "dim. filewrite" variables to read and write to a file so that the password can be changed ?
Can anyone run me through it step by step ?
I am an absolute novice at the moment.
Thanks
Harry

Answer 1

You're lucky you have a programming teacher and I think that you shouldn't be shy and ask more questions to your teacher, and not copy the code step by step, this is the only way you can learn something.

Answer 2

I understand some parts. Just not all. It can get a little confusing. Just need someone to guide me through log in screen stuff and I will get it

Answer 3

I started to learn Visual Basic but it was a long time ago, I don’t know if I can remember something to help you. ☺
What kind of Visual are you doing?

Answer 4

Visual studio 2017.
Its only creating a log in screen that allows the user to change there password .

Answer 5

Well, yes, I was familiar.☺
Write a piece of code that stalled.

Answer 6

Public Class Form4
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim FileWrite As System.IO.StreamWriter
Dim FileRead As IO.StreamReader

If TextBox1.Text = TextBox2.Text Then
MsgBox("New Password Saved")
FileWrite = My.Computer.FileSystem.OpenTextFileWriter("C:\Users\deadl\Documents\Visualstudio.txt", False)
FileWrite.WriteLine(Text)
FileWrite.Close()

End If
End Sub

Private Sub Form4_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

End Sub
End Class

So what i'm trying to do is, upon clicking the log in button the code will save the new password the user has entered into a file. (It's from the "Enter new password" and "confirm new password boxes")

If someone could tell me how I can share the whole program via a link, maybe that would be easier.
