You can do something like the below
Select the Username and PWD into variables and then validate them

First check if the Username exists in the the database,
If YES, the get all items like ROLE, EMAIL ID ETC and the store them into a Session variable so that they can be used through out the website.

you can modify the below to suit you need.

VB

Sub validateuser()
       Try
           sqlcon = New OleDbConnection(constr)
           sqlcon.Open()
           sqlcmd = New OleDbCommand("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM att_userrole WHERE username = '" + Login1.UserName + " AND password = '" + Login1.Password + "'", sqlcon)
           retval = sqlcmd.ExecuteScalar
           If retval = 1 Then
               sqlcmd = New OleDbCommand("SELECT role, emailid FROM att_userrole WHERE username = '" + Login1.UserName + "'", sqlcon)
               sqlrdr = sqlcmd.ExecuteReader()
               sqlrdr.Read()
               Session("username") = Login1.UserName
               getrole = (sqlrdr.Item("role"))
               Session("userrole") = getrole
               getemail = (sqlrdr.Item("emailid"))
               Session("reqemailid") = getemail
               Response.Redirect("~\Home.aspx")
               'Response.Write("you are valid " & Session("username") & " with role " & getrole)
           Else
               'IF USERNAME IS INVALID
               '-----YOUR CODE GOES HERE----
              lbl_msg.Text = ("Invalid login attmept")

           End If
       Catch ex As Exception
           lbl_msg.Text = ex.Message.ToString
       End Try
   End Sub

Hope this helps

You should never retrieve the password from DB (i.e. doing a SELECT and getting it to frontend code behind)! Always pass on the entered username & password to server side which will pass them to DB in a query and get back the result if it matches. Something like:

SQL

SELECT
  Count(ID)
FROM
  MstUsers
WHERE
  Username = @username AND
  Password = @password

If the count is greater then zero, you know the combination is correct. You can retrieve any other information other then count if you need.
