I am making a program with a login screen. The Username is stored in eUsername[9] and the password in ePassword
. I want to check these against a file or better yet a database. How do I do that. The Win32 API only please, "the program is not to be written in Visual C++." Thank you in advance.
Scanning a Database???
Rajeev Gupta
I have two strings. And I have to make a program that silently opens a database and checks stringOne against one column for a match and stringTwo against another column for a match(but stringTwo will only check if stringOne returns TRUE. I went "googling" and found that i should use the DTL. The problem is, I don't understand it, and I don't have the DTL header files, and I can't seem to find any. Any help would be appreciated.

If you want to access a 3rd party database from C++ then you must use the database vendors C++ binding (or more usually C binding) for the specific database that you are using. There is no Standard C++ or Win32 way to do this.

Give us more information.
The sentence:
The Win32 API only please, "the program is not to be written in Visual C++."
does not make any sense to me.
Tell us more about your problem and buy&read a book about programming in C++.
