Hello Friends,

I have two pages in my project,

1) First page is for entering records
2) Second page is for viewing records.

In first page i have two textboxes
Department textbox and Password Textbox

when i click submit, this textboxes values will be stored in database.
Till here it is working fine.

On Second page I have dropdownlist(Department) and a password textbox.
- for dropdownlist i will retieve and display the value from Database which i have entered on my first page textbox.

So my problem is ...............

On my second page I have Dropdownlist(Department) , Textbox(Password) , and OK button

when i select department from dropdownlist and entered password, the password should match the dropdownlist selected item.

i can click OK button to view the records.

When i click OK button, the password should match the dropdownlist selected item.

or else it must display a popup message Invalid Password, Please try again

What part are you having a problem with?
Remember, we can't see your screen, so we only get the info you give us.
So we have no idea what your passwords are stored as, where they are stored, how you access them, or what kind of data you put in your drop down.
So as it stands, we can't help much!

So read the data from your DB:

C#

using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(strConnect))
    {
    con.Open();
    using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT Password FROM DeptTable WHERE Department = @DEPT", con))
        {
        cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@DEPT", myDropDownList.SelectedValue);
        string deptPass = cmd.ExecuteScalar() as string;
        if (deptPass == tbPassword.Text)
            {
            ... all ok
            }
        }
    }
