hi.. the code which i have given you that you have to write in page_load

and one more thing for the myprofile you have to create seperate page..

see the code is for user_profile(for rest user)

and for myprofile(logged in user) you jus have to change the where query in sqldataadapter like
where profileId=

then just use in code behind..

retrieve quersystring like and dataset :

int pid = Convert.ToInt32(Request.QueryString["profileId"].ToString());

SqlDataAdapter da;
DataSet ds;

da = new SqlDataAdapter("Select * profile where profileId=" + pid, );
ds = new DataSet();
da.Fill(ds);
GridView1.DataSource=ds;
GridView1.DataBind();

hi... i am telling you as i have created in my site..

i use 2 master pages

one for the user who logged in and second for rest of the users..

myprofile you navigate using the link suppose using hyperlink which wil open "profile.aspx"

here the data frm the profile table will be load based on the userid of the loggend in user..

now i have created a search.aspx here i can search the user by entering its email address or name and result will be shown in the gridview like orkut..

in that grid therez one hyperlink like:

NavigateUrl='<%# Eval("profileId","profil.aspx?profileId={0}") %>'
Text='<%# Bind("fname") %>' />

Check the navigateurl .... it will opened the profile.aspx and in this page data in the gridview or any data conrol wil be load based on the query string

By clicking on that hyperlink it will open the profile.aspx"

in profile.aspx

I use the gridview with sqldatasource control

SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [profile] WHERE ([profileId] = @profileId)">

Hi in social networking website, the profile page is based on the unique id that is userid..

if you check the address bar of orkut it is somthing like ...

profile.aspx?uid=89897999

you have to provide each user a unique userid so that you can navigate through pages.

and when i create social networking site for profile page i used two pages

1 my profile.aspx , 2 userprofile.aspx

the myprofile is opened without querystring like myprofile.aspx

but for userprofile.aspx?uid=

my profile wil be opened using fix id that is myuser id and the user's profile is depends on the user who's profile we check..

hi friend,

you must user two different pages one for logged in user's profile and other page for another user's profile. for navigation use some unique identity of users for e.g., Userid or Username(its must be unique) and load the page according the query string userid or username. then if you see the logged in user's link in another user's profile then onclick it must go to loggedin user's page.

for this you have to put conditions on databound and onclick when you loading the page..
and condition will be
if (Request.QueryString["Username"]==Membership.GetUser().UserName)
{
}
for page_load event. you have to put some more condition like on button click event or link button click if you are loading page on condition then again check for this condition if requested user in query string is the logged in user itself.

Hope your situation is clear this solution.
