    Help With Hardcoding Username And Password For Testing

    I am trying to test with a hard coded username and password and I do not know how to put them in my code. For example say I want my username to be mary and password to be pass for testing purposes.

    I thought it would be : txtPassword = "pass" txtUsername = "mary"

    but that doesn't work.

    help please..

    Here is my code:

    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
    <head id="Head1" runat="server">
    <title>BID</title>
    </head>

      Where you have:
      [code=html]
      <asp:TextBox ID="txtUsername " runat="server" Width="136px" />
      [/code]

      Add in the Text part?
      [code=html]
      <asp:TextBox ID="txtUsername " runat="server" Width="136px" Text="MyUsernam e" />
      [/code]

              Maybe I typed the wrong thing, I don't mean hard coded like it always being there I mean like that is the username and password it accepts.
              I hope you understand.

              thanks

                  Ohh haha ok (and you got that error because you put it in the LABEL object which already had a TEXT that gets displayed as like "Password:" )

                  Well where you plan to validate that username/password, add in a special case so that:
                  [code]
                  if ((txtPassword.T ext="mypassword ") &(txtUsername.T ext="myusername "))
                  {//your special case username and password are correct
                  }

                      <tr>


                      if ((txtPassword.T ext = "pass") & (txtUsername.Te xt = "mary"))

                      Am I putting it in the right spot??
                      Thank you so much!!!

                          As of Plater's reply u have to use that in Codebehind file not in aspx file.

                              thanks.

                              oh gosh like a vb file or something? I am new at this and have no idea what you mean by code behind. I had a vb.net class last week and he ended up with a vb file, but I am not sure how to do it.

                              thank you for your reply.

                                  :)

                                      If you are working in visual studio (or visual web express) the solution explorer should have files already created for you where you can enter this type of code.

                                          Why not store them in the web.config and use them in the aspx.vb via cofiguration appsettings? Sorry but if this is your test design it is unlikely to be a secure application :(.

                                              plater---- For some reason files I created without visual studio didn't have the extra vb files when I opened it up in visual studio.

                                              I am just learning this stuff and there is so much to learn.
                                              I am reading about the code behind and I think I am finally starting to get it.
                                              thanks for all yoru help.

                                              I have no idea what you are talking about right now. haha
                                              I am so new at this.. I think I might have an idea if I remember something from class but right now it just isn't coming to me.

                                              Sometimes I wonder if I am the only one that has so much trouble learning this stuff. Seems like I am the only one that starts at the beginning..
                                              How did you guys learn this stuff??

                                              thanks for all your help.

                                                  Keep learning, pressure plus time equals evolution. Good thing that you are doing a course, better to learn best practices - saves time. I find you struggle in the dark until suddenly you see the light. If are impatient this is probably not the job for you. Remember that you are always wrong until the code is proven wrong. If its enlightenment you seek understand this, the exception proves the rule.

                                                  As to your coding problems, I believe that you already have enough advice from the experts to solve them. If you seek the easy road now, always copying and pasting, you may never see the light. I dont believe anyone becomes an expert in a week. All the best!
