Hey guys, In this tutorial I’m going to create a Login page in Asp.net MVC.
There are many Login pages designs are available, you can use of your choice. For this tutorial, I’m going to use This Beautiful Login page by colorlib.
So, If you have not even created your Asp.net Core project then your first step is to create an Empty project using this command
dotnet new Web
& don’t forget to create these three folders “Controllers”, “Models” & “Views” add this code to your “Startup.cs” to ready your project for using MVC
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Builder;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http;
using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection;
namespace AdminPanelTutorial
{
public class Startup
{
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
services.AddMvc();
}
// This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to configure the HTTP request pipeline.
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env)
{
if (env.IsDevelopment())
{
app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
}
app.UseStaticFiles();
app.UseMvc(routes =>
{
routes.MapRoute(
name: "default",
template: "{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}");
});
}
}
}Now you need to create models for your Database table.
Here’s my table for users to login
I’m using Database First approach to create Models from my existing Database, so If you have also created your Database & want to create models then I’ll recommend you this Article to Scaffold your Database => Asp.Net Core Scaffold DB
Now you need to download Login page Code from Colorlib. So download from here => Login Form 12 by Colorlib
unzip the folder and you’ll find these folders & file
Copy all folders from here and paste in the “wwwroot” folder of your Asp.net Core MVC project.
Now create a Controller as “AccountController.cs” inside your Controllers Folder & Add this code.
using Microsoft.AspNetCore;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
namespace AdminPanelTutorial
{
public class AccountController : Controller
{
public IActionResult Login()
{
return View();
}
}
}Create a new Folder into Views as “Account” & inside this Folder create a file as “Login.cshtml” and put this code
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Login V12</title>
<meta charset="UTF-8">

</head>
<body>
<div class="limiter">
<div class="container-login100" style="background-image: url('../images/img-01.jpg');">
<div class="wrap-login100 p-t-190 p-b-30">

<span class="login100-form-title p-t-20 p-b-45">

</span>
<div class="wrap-input100 validate-input m-b-10" data-validate = "Email is required">
<input class="input100" type="text" name="email" id="email" placeholder="Email">
<span class="focus-input100"></span>
<span class="symbol-input100">
<i class="fa fa-user"></i>
</span>
</div>
<div class="wrap-input100 validate-input m-b-10" data-validate = "Password is required">
<input class="input100" type="password" name="password" id="password" placeholder="Password">
<span class="focus-input100"></span>
<span class="symbol-input100">
<i class="fa fa-lock"></i>
</span>
</div>
<div class="container-login100-form-btn p-t-10">
<input type="button" value="Login" class="login100-form-btn" onclick="Validate()">
</div>
<div class="text-center w-full p-t-25 p-b-230">
<a href="#" class="txt1">
Forgot Username / Password?
</a>
</div>
</form>
</div>
</div>
</div>

<script src="~/vendor/jquery/jquery-3.2.1.min.js"></script>

</body>
</html>After that, your project directory structure will look something like this
Run your project & go to http://localhost:8080/Account/Login (your port can be different)
Now you need a method to validate user from Database.
In your “AccountController.cs”, Add this Validation method
public ActionResult Validate(Admins admin)
{
var _admin = db.Admins.Where(s => s.Email == admin.Email);
if(_admin.Any()){
if(_admin.Where(s => s.Password == admin.Password).Any()){
return Json(new { status = true, message = "Login Successfull!"});
}
else
{
return Json(new { status = true, message = "Invalid Password!"});
}
}
else
{
return Json(new { status = true, message = "Invalid Email!"});
}
}We’ll use ajax to validate our user from Login Page.
So the last thing is our ajax call. Put this Code at the End of your body
<script>
function Validate() {
$.ajax(
{
type: "POST",
url: '@Url.Action("Validate", "Account")',
data: {
email: $('#email').val(),
password: $('#password').val()
},
error: function (result) {
alert("There is a Problem, Try Again!");
},
success: function (result) {
console.log(result);
if (result.status == true) {
window.location.href = '@Url.Action("Index", "Home")';
}
else {
alert(result.message);
}
}
});
}
</script>Now run your project & Login with the email & password you have in your Admins Table.
I have saved Password without any Hashing just for keeping it simple. But keep in mind that this is really a bad practice. You should never save the password in your Database without hashing.
If you want to Hash password then follow this article => C# Hashing algorithm class

Thanks for sharing. This is much simpler than configuring the IdentityUser.
bro its really helpful. thanks
