In this tutorial, I'm going to show you how to create a simple Login-Logout system using Visual
basic.net and MySQl Database. To start with this application, open Visual Basic->Create a New
Project->Save it as Login.
This time, lets add objects to our windows form and these objects are the following: four Labels,
two Textbox,two buttons and a Groupbox.
Designing object Properties

Object
Label1
Label2
Label3
Label4
Textbox1
Textbox2
Button1
Property
Name
Text
Name
Text
Text
Text
Name
Name
PasswordChar
Name
Settings
lbllogin
Login
lblname
Hi,Guest!
Username
Password
txtuname
txtpass
*
btnok
Text
Name
Text
Button2
OK
btncancel
Cancel
After setting the Object properties, arrange all the objects like as shown below.
This time, lets we are now ready to add functionality to our application. To do this, double click
the form and add the following code:
This code will simply disable the group box that holding the label Username and Password same
with the two textbox and two Buttons.
1. GroupBox1.Enabled = False
Next, double click the lbllogin label and add the following code:
This code will check if the lbllogin is set to Logout then it reset the text of lbllogin to
Login same with the lblname to Hi, Guest!, else if the text of lbllogin is equal to
Login then it's enabled the Group box.
1.
If lbllogin.Text = "Logout" Then
2.
lbllogin.Text = "Login"
3.
lblname.Text = "Hi, Guest!"
4.
ElseIf lbllogin.Text = "Login" Then
5.
GroupBox1.Enabled = True
6.
7.
End If
Then add the following code under the public class.
1. 'Represents an SQL statement or stored procedure to execute against a

data source.
2.
Dim cmd As New MySqlCommand
3.
Dim da As New MySqlDataAdapter
4.
'declare conn as connection and it will now a new connection because
5.
'it is equal to Getconnection Function
6.
Dim con As MySqlConnection = jokenconn()
7.
8.
9.
Public Function jokenconn() As MySqlConnection
10.
Return New MySqlConnection("server=localhost;user

id=root;password=;database=studentdb")
End Function
And double click the OK button and add the following code:
1. Dim sql As String

2.
Dim publictable As New DataTable
3.
Try
4.
'check if the textbox is equal to nothing then it will

display the message below!.
5.
If txtuname.Text = "" And txtpass.Text = "" Then
6.
MsgBox("Password or Username Incorrect!")
7.
8.
9.
Else
sql = "select * from tbluseraccounts where username ='"
& txtuname.Text & "' and userpassword = '" & txtpass.Text & "'"
10.
'bind the connection and query
11.
With cmd
12.
.Connection = con
13.
.CommandText = sql
14.
End With
15.
da.SelectCommand = cmd
16.
da.Fill(publictable)
17.
'check if theres a result by getting the count number
18.
If publictable.Rows.Count > 0 Then
of rows
19.
20.
'it gets the data from specific column and assign
21.
Dim user_type, name As String
22.
user_type = publictable.Rows(0).Item(4)
23.
name = publictable.Rows(0).Item(2)
24.
'check if the type of user is admin
25.
If user_type = "Admin" Then
to the variable
26.
'welcomes the user as Admiistrator
27.
MsgBox("Welcome " & name & " you login as
28.
'set the lbllogin text to Logout
29.
lbllogin.Text = "Logout"
30.
'disabled the groupbox
31.
GroupBox1.Enabled = False
32.
'reset all the two textbox
33.
txtuname.Text = ""
34.
txtpass.Text = ""
35.
'set the lblname to the specific user
36.
lblname.Text = "Hi, " & name
Administrator ")
37.
38.
ElseIf user_type = "Encoder" Then
39.
40.
41.
42.
txtuname.Text = ""
43.
txtpass.Text = ""
44.
Encoder ")
45.
Else
46.
MsgBox("You login as Guest!")
47.
48.
49.
txtuname.Text = ""
50.
txtpass.Text = ""
51.
52.
End If
53.
54.
Else
55.
MsgBox("Contact administrator to registered!")
56.
txtuname.Text = ""
57.
txtpass.Text = ""
58.
End If
59.
60.
61.
da.Dispose()
End If
62.
63.
Catch ex As Exception
64.
MsgBox(ex.Message)
65.
66.
End Try
67.
con.Clone()
This time you can now test your application by pressing F5.
And here's the database table used.
1. CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `tbluseraccounts` (
2.
ùserID` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
3.
ùsername` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL,
4.
ùsers_name` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL,
5.
ùserpassword` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL,
6.
ùsertype` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL,
7.
PRIMARY KEY (ùserID`)
8. ) ENGINE=MyISAM
DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 AUTO_INCREMENT=3 ;
9.
10. -11. -- Dumping data for table `tbluseraccounts`
12. -13.
14. INSERT INTO `tbluseraccounts` (ùserID`, ùsername`, ùsers_name`,
ùserpassword`, ùsertype`) VALUES
15. (1, 'admin', 'Joken Villanueva', 'admin123', 'Admin'),
16. (2, 'jason', 'Jason Batuto', 'jason123', 'Encoder');
After testing the program, heres all the following code used in this application.

[RESOLVED] Login form with MD5 encrypted password from

MySQL database
Hello!
I m creating a Log In form at VB.NET and i have some problems The connection
between the application and the web server opens fine and i can login if i use the
MD5 encrypted text of the database. The problem is that as the passwords are
encrypted the application cannot read the actual password but it can read the text...
some help will be MUCH appreciated.
My Code is:
vb Code:
1. Private Sub OK_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles OK.Click
2.
3.
'-----------------------------------------------------'
4.
Dim conn As MySqlConnection
5.
'connect to DB
6.
conn = New MySqlConnection()
7.
conn.ConnectionString = "server=ip;user id=user; password=pass;

database=db"
8.
'see if connection failed.
9.
Try
10.
11.
conn.Open()
Catch myerror As MySqlException
12.
MessageBox.Show("Error Connecting to Database: " &

myerror.Message)
13.
End Try
14.
'sql query
15.
Dim myAdapter As New MySqlDataAdapter
16.
17.
Dim sqlquery = "SELECT memberName, passwd FROM smf_members

Where memberName='" & UsernameTextBox.Text & "' and passwd='" &

'start query
22.
myAdapter.SelectCommand = myCommand
23.
Dim myData As MySqlDataReader
24.
myData = myCommand.ExecuteReader()
25.
'see if user exits.
26.
If myData.HasRows = 0 Then
27.
MessageBox.Show("Invalid Login Details", "Login Error",

MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error)
28.

Re: Login form with MD5 encrypted password from MySQL

It should be like this:
Code:
Private Sub OK_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
'-----------------------------------------------------'
'connect to DB
database=db"
Try
conn.Open()
'sql query
Dim sqlquery = "SELECT memberName, passwd FROM smf_members Where
memberName='" & UsernameTextBox.Text & "' and passwd='" & PasswordTextBox.Text
& "'"
'start query
'see if user exits.
If myData.HasRows Then
frm1.Show()
Me.Visible = False
Else
End If
conn.Close()

MessageBox.Show("Error occurred: " & myerror.Message)
End Try
End Sub

If I'm getting you right, the passwords aren't storeed in the database, instead there
are MD5 hashes.
Well then, you have to calculate MD5 hash of the password string the user inputs
and search for any matches.
I'm not sure if this code works, since I don't have VS installed right now, but it
presumably calculates an MD5 hash of a string:
Code:
Imports System.Text
Imports System.Security.Cryptography
Private Function GenerateHash(ByVal SourceText As String) As String
'Create an encoding object to ensure the encoding standard for the source text
Dim Ue As New UnicodeEncoding()
'Retrieve a byte array based on the source text
Dim ByteSourceText() As Byte = Ue.GetBytes(SourceTStext)
'Instantiate an MD5 Provider object
Dim Md5 As New MD5CryptoServiceProvider()
'Compute the hash value from the source
Dim ByteHash() As Byte = Md5.ComputeHash(ByteSourceText)
'And convert it to String format for return
Return Convert.ToBase64String(ByteHash)
End Function
So, instead of searching for password, you should search for MD5 hash of it.
#define true ((rand() % 2)? true: false) // Debug THAT!

Oh, yes. You have to hash the password 1st and then use that hash in your query
instead of the plain password.

duty as we understand it.

Thanks for the fast replies guys! Fortunately I got trouble to understand
So now I come up with this:
Code:
Imports MySql.Data.MySqlClient
Imports System.Data
Imports MySql.Data
Imports MySql
Imports System.Data.SqlClient
Imports System.Text
Imports System.Security.Cryptography
Public Class LoginForm2
Private Function GenerateHash(ByVal SourceText As String) As String
'Create an encoding object to ensure the encoding standard for the
source text
Dim Ue As New UnicodeEncoding()
'Retrieve a byte array based on the source text
Dim ByteSourceText() As Byte = Ue.GetBytes(SourceTSText)
'Instantiate an MD5 Provider object
Dim Md5 As New MD5CryptoServiceProvider()
'Compute the hash value from the source
Dim ByteHash() As Byte = Md5.ComputeHash(ByteSourceText)
'And convert it to String format for return
Return Convert.ToBase64String(ByteHash)
End Function
Dim MySqlConnection As MySqlConnection

Private Sub OK_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
'-----------------------------------------------------'
'connect to DB
database=db"
Try
conn.Open()
'sql query
Dim sqlquery = "SELECT memberName, passwd FROM smf_members Where
memberName='" & UsernameTextBox.Text & "' and passwd='" & PasswordTextBox.Text
& "'"
'start query
'see if user exits.
If myData.HasRows Then
frm1.Show()
Me.Visible = False
Else
End If
conn.Close()
MessageBox.Show("Error occurred: " & myerror.Message)
End Try
End Sub
And at the Function I m getting:

Error 1 'SourceTSText' is not declared. It may be inaccessible due to its protection
level.
Maybe I can't understand it correctly cause I m a PHP Freak!

It's a typo - change to SourceText.
Did you go into trouble of actually understanding the code before you tried to run it?
Back in the good old DOS times, people posted assembly code of a HDD low level
format tool under 'Internet cracker' title. And some actually got their drives
formatted )

ok I actually imagine that it was an typo.
As I have no idea about MD5 encryption inside VB.NET i cannot clearly understand
what the code say
Now the last one:
I have to make sth like:
GenerateHash(PasswordTextBox.Text) to make it working ?
cause I try it with both but I m getting "Invalid Log In Details"

In the code you've posted you didn't change anything. You substitute
PasswordTextBox.Text in your query while you shold substitute its md5 hash:
GenerateHash(PasswordTextBox.Text)

Hi again !
Let's start from scratch again
My encrypted code looks like this is MySql db:
"81dc9bdb52d04dc20036dbd8313ed055"
Which is actually the numbers: "1234"
I have try the code that you provide me and I m getting:
"DwN1hMmef9T0+MWVUPj1Bw=="
Now, the MySql cannot connect me because it is not a valid password for the
encrypted "1234"
P.S. Everything without the ""

Are you sure that the hashes in the database use MD5 algorhithm?
Well, try this sample from MSDN:
Code:
Function getMd5Hash(ByVal input As String) As String
' Create a new instance of the MD5 object.
Dim md5Hasher As MD5 = MD5.Create()
' Convert the input string to a byte array and compute the hash.
Dim data As Byte() =
md5Hasher.ComputeHash(Encoding.Default.GetBytes(input))
' Create a new Stringbuilder to collect the bytes
' and create a string.
Dim sBuilder As New StringBuilder()
' Loop through each byte of the hashed data
' and format each one as a hexadecimal string.
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To data.Length - 1
sBuilder.Append(data(i).ToString("x2"))
Next i
' Return the hexadecimal string.
Return sBuilder.ToString()
End Function
Also, there might be problems with encodings. Which one is the default one for your
system?

no succes yet
the db password is stored into tables by the following php string
Code:
$password = md5($data['password'] . $salt);
which turns the normal text into MD5 Hash.

System confing? the server or my local pc ?

You should encrypt the password on the client side NOT the server side, otherwise
what's the point of encryption if the password is sent in clear text to the server?
Take a look here: http://pajhome.org.uk/crypt/md5/
You can download the "md5.js" and using java script you can encrypt the password
in the "OnClick" event of the submit button on the client side, and override the
plain password text with the encrypted one. This way only the encrypted password
will be sent to the server.
Also, MD5 is not strong enough, use SHA instead, you can find in the same link
javascript code to encrypt all the way to 512 bit...

Thanks all for the help!
@CVMichael Thanks for the tips, I will use this for futures projects. Now i cannot
change 200++ passwords encryption.
Now the things come clear...
I contact the developer of the database and I have an answer:
"The db uses 2 ways to encrypt the password. 1 is the password itself and 1 the
salt.
Salt is an extra layer of security, what happens is
Password is MD5'd, then that is appended to the salt, and that whole thing is then
MD5'd. That way it can't be decoded at all since it's doubly encrypted a.k.a
password + salt together"
Is it still accessible to login from a VB.NET client ?
P.S. I m totally LOST

Theoretically, yes. But you have to know what 'salt' is used.
In order to get a proper hash you should repeat the process exactly like the original
process did.
Although I am not an expert in cryptography, but I fail to see the necessity of salt
here - either it should be a constant or generated pseudo-randomly from a known

1. Get an MD5 of a password
2. Append salt
3. Get an MD5 of a md5'd pass + salt
