Create User Registration Form In Asp.Net

Creating User Registration Form Example In Asp.Net

In this post i am explaining how to create user registration or signup page in asp.net with sql server database using C# and VB.NET.

Creating user registration form in asp.net
For this first of all we need to create a table in sql server database to store user registration data.

I have created a table named Users for this example with columns shown in image below.







We can also Create Users with Membership Provider programmatically Or using CreateUserWizard, You will also need a Login Page

Place textboxes on the form for entering name,username,password,address,email etc.

Set Textmode property of password textbox to password to display * character instead of text entered.

Associate RequiredFieldValidators with textboxes as shown in HTML source.

Place one Label and Button to save the data.

HTML SOURCE OF PAGE
   1:  <table>
   2:  <tr>
   3:  <td>First Name:</td>
   4:  <td><asp:TextBox ID="txtFirstName" runat="server">

errorMessage += ex.Message;
i don't understand this line .. Message, where was it stored?


Unknown said...

@sundeep:

catch (SqlException ex)
{
string errorMessage = "Error in registering user";
errorMessage += ex.Message;
throw new Exception(errorMessage);

}

ex.message will append the error message of sqlexception type, if occured,to errorMessage variable

i tried the c# codes but it is not working.is there any other thing to do before running?the error message is : Compiler Error Message: CS1061: 'ASP.test_aspx' does not contain a definition for 'btnSave_Click' and no extension method 'btnSave_Click' accepting a first argument of type 'ASP.test_aspx' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

@Above:Open your page in design mode and double click on save button to generate it's click event in code behind, then write Csharp code in it

i have contact(phone no) column.Here i declare int type. i written code in submit button like,but it gives error as value either too small or too large of INT32. Please correct it
SqlParameter ContactNo = new SqlParameter("@ContactNo", SqlDbType.Int, 50);
ContactNo.Value = convert.toint32(txtcotno.Text.ToString());
cmd.Parameters.Add(ContactNo);


Unknown said...

@Above: Create a new column ContactNo in database table With int datatype

Change sql statement to

string insertSql = "INSERT INTO Users (FirstName,LastName,UserName,Password,Email,Address,Gender,ContactNo) values (@FirstName,@LastName,@UserName,@Password,@Email,@Address,@Gender,@ContactNo)";

Create Sql parameter

SqlParameter contactNo = new SqlParameter("@ContactNo", SqlDbType.Int, 10);
contactNo.Value = Convert.ToInt32(txtContactNo.Text.ToString());
cmd.Parameters.Add(contactNo);

This should work fine without any errors
