Could you post the code that is failing?

something simple like this would work, no?

if((int)Session["loginCount"] > 3)
{
    lblResult.Text = "To many login attempts, please try again in 15 minutes."
}
else
{
    If(txtUserID.Text == "userID" & txtPassword.Text == "passW0rD")
    {
        // redirect login
    }
    else
    {
        lblResult.Text = "Invalid UserID or Password. Please try again."
        Session["loginCount"] += 1;
    }
}

You could even remove the Session["loginCount"] to make it more simple, like this

    If(txtUserID.Text == "userID" & txtPassword.Text == "passW0rD")
    {
        // redirect login
    }
    else
    {
        lblResult.Text = "Invalid UserID or Password. Please try again."
        Session["loginCount"] += 1;
    }

ds = new DataSet();

da = new SqlDataAdapter("select * from login3 where name=" + TextBox1.Text + " and pwd=" + TextBox2.Text + " and role=" + DropDownList1.Text + "", cn);
da.Fill(ds, "login3");
dt = ds.Tables["login3"];




if (dt.Rows.Count != 0 && DropDownList1.Text == "admin")
{


Response.Redirect("Page2.aspx");
TextBox2.Text = null;

}

This is the code...
Thanks & Regards

Is there a specific error message that you are getting?

Im not sure, you might want to try

dt.Rows.Count > 0

since you may end up with a -1 for the Count property if there are no records returned.
