I am new to postgres and asp.net. I am trying to create a simple login page in VS 2015 using Npgsql. I don't know how to make a connection with c# and postgres database. If any one can please help me out of where I am going wrong. Thanks in advance.

My Login.aspx code looks like this:

    <%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Login.aspx.cs" Inherits="LoginPortal.Login" %>

<!DOCTYPE html>

     </div>
    </div>

    </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

And the code behind which I tried is:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
using System.Data;
using Npgsql; 

namespace LoginPortal
{
    public partial class Login : System.Web.UI.Page
    {
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

        }

        protected void btnlogin_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            string ConString = String.Format("Server=localhost;Port=5432;User Id=postgres;password=Att1234$$;Database=LoginCredits");
            try
            {
                NpgsqlConnection con = new NpgsqlConnection(ConString);
                con.Open();
                string sql = "Select * from logintab where username='" + txtUserName.Text + "' and password ='" + txtPassword.Text + "'";
                NpgsqlCommand cmd = new NpgsqlCommand(sql,con);
                NpgsqlDataAdapter da = new NpgsqlDataAdapter(cmd);
                DataTable dt = new DataTable();
                //NpgsqlDataReader rd = cmd.ExecuteReader();
                da.Fill(dt);
                if (dt.Rows.Count > 0)
                {
                    Session["id"] = txtUserName.Text;
                    Response.Redirect("Home.aspx");
                    Response.Write("Login Suucessfull!");
                    //Session.RemoveAll();
                }
                else
                {
                    lblMsg.Visible = true;
                    lblMsg.Text = "Please enter a Valid Username and Password";
                }
            }
            catch(NpgsqlException ex)
            {

            }
        }

        protected void btnCancel_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            lblMsg.Visible = false;
            txtUserName.Text = "";
            txtPassword.Text = "";
            txtUserName.Focus();
        }
    }
}

I haven't completed code behind yet. Please suggest me to how make connection to the database.
