This Tutorial Will Demonstrate How To Create A Registration Page For New Users To Your Site

This tutorial will demonstrate how to create a registration page for new users to your site.
This
registration page will utilize the same principles used in the Login Page Tutorial, so this should be no
more difficult to do than the login page. I am using the SQL Server 2000, and programmed this part
of the application in Visual Studio .NET 2003. I choose VB because it is more natural language to
me, but there is no reason you can't use the same concepts I use here to code this in any other
language in the .NET framework.
1. Create the basic HTML layout for the registration page. REGISTER.ASPX
- This page will require all entries to be filled in for a successful registration
- UserName, Password, FirstName and LastName
(Toggle Plain Text)
<%@ Page Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" Codebehind="Register.aspx.vb"

Inherits="NorthLogin3.Register"%>

</form>

<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<asp:label id="lblResult" runat="server" width="424px"></asp:label>
</body>
</html>
2. Create the Store Procedures you will need to add a new user
- You will need to handle duplicates
- You will need to handle the adding of a new user.
a. Check for Duplicates. SP_CHECKFORDUPLICATES

(Toggle Plain Text)
CREATE PROCEDURE sp_CheckForDuplicates
(
@UserName VARCHAR(50) = NULL,
@FirstName VARCHAR(50) = NULL,
@LastName VARCHAR(50) = NULL,
@Duplicates INT = 0
)
AS
SET @Duplicates =(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM NorthWindUsers
WHERE UserName = @UserName
OR FirstName = @FirstName AND LastName = @LastName)
RETURN @Duplicates
b. Add New User. SP_REGISTERNEWUSER

(Toggle Plain Text)
CREATE PROCEDURE sp_RegisterNewUser

(
@UserName VARCHAR(50) = NULL,
@Password VARCHAR(50) = NULL,
@FirstName VARCHAR(50) = NULL,
@LastName VARCHAR(50) = NULL
)
AS
IF @UserName IS NULL OR
@Password IS NULL OR
@FirstName IS NULL OR
@LastName IS NULL
RAISERROR('Please fill in all fields', 16, 1)
ELSE
BEGIN
INSERT INTO NorthWindUsers
(UserName, Password, FirstName, LastName)
VALUES (@UserName, @Password, @FirstName, @LastName)
IF @@error <> 0
RAISERROR('User was not added', 16, 1)
ELSE
BEGIN
DECLARE @ID int
SELECT @ID = @@IDENTITY
SELECT Count(*)
FROM NorthWindUsers
WHERE UserID = @ID
END
END
RETURN
4. Create the code behind to provide functionality to your registration page.
REGISTER.ASPX.VB
- This code behind will do several things; Validate the entries for completeness, duplication, and add
the new user.
- I test for duplicates in UserName, as well as First & Last Name.

lblError.Text = "Error Connecting to Database!"
End Try
End Sub
End Class
5. Final thing to do: Link the Registration Page to the Login Page
- I used a Hyperlink on the login page to do this, but you could use anything. It is just a simple <a
href="Register.aspx" ...> line of code to use for this. On that note I also send the user right back to
the login page on successful registration. This is not the ideal thing to do. It would be better to direct
them to a page that said "You are now registered! Would you like to return to the login page?" and a
means of allowing them to return to the login page. But you specific use of this may be different, so
the choice is yours.
6. Compile and run.....

Re: ASP.NET Registration Page
Hi
I have tried to add more fields ie: Address, Phone, Email etc everything compiles ok but when
running the app it comes up with the database error (lblError)
I have updated the Stored procedure and the database with the correct fields so i think i know it is
not that.
any way here is codebehind:
