Question

I\'m new to this language, I tried things but couldn\'t figure out how to set a login loop to use login attemps with a max. of 3 times. Could someone help me out?

Answer 1

Why not recursive

    class Program
    {
        const int MaxAttempt = 3;
        static int currentAttempt = 0;

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            if (MaxAttempt == currentAttempt)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("You have reached maximum try .. please come after some time");
                Console.ReadLine();
                Environment.Exit(0);
            }

            currentAttempt++;

            Console.WriteLine("Status: " + status.Onaangemeld);
            Console.WriteLine("Welkom, typ hieronder het gebruikersnaam:");
            string Naam = Console.ReadLine();

            Console.WriteLine("Vul hieronder het wachtwoord in:");
            string Wachtwoord = Console.ReadLine();

            if (Naam != "gebruiker" || Wachtwoord != "SHARPSOUND")
            {
                Console.Clear();
                Console.WriteLine("Helaas, gebruikersnaam of wachtwoord niet correct. Please try again");
                Console.ReadLine();
                Console.Clear();
                Main(args);
            }


            Console.Clear();
            Console.WriteLine("Status: " + status.Ingelogd);
            Console.WriteLine("Welkom bij SoundSharp {0}!", Naam);
            Console.ReadLine();


        }
    }

Answer 2

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    for (int i=0; i<3; i++) 
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Status: " + status.Onaangemeld);
        Console.WriteLine("Welkom, typ hieronder het gebruikersnaam:");
        string Naam = Console.ReadLine();

        Console.WriteLine("Vul hieronder het wachtwoord in:");
        string Wachtwoord = Console.ReadLine();

        if (Naam == "gebruiker" && Wachtwoord == "SHARPSOUND")
        {
            Console.Clear();
            Console.WriteLine("Status: " + status.Ingelogd);
            Console.WriteLine("Welkom bij SoundSharp {0}!", Naam);
            Console.ReadLine();
            break;
        }


        Console.Clear();
        Console.WriteLine("Helaas, gebruikersnaam of wachtwoord niet correct.");

    }

    Console.Clear();
    Console.WriteLine("....");
}

}

You should add the for loop for maximum number of attempts. For reference you can read below

You can use for loop accordingly whether you want the user to enter password only or username and password both
