I have that currently. What I want is instead of it loading ALL processes, I only want it to load processes from the current user. (ie. Ryan or Andrew, not SYSTEM or LOCAL.)'ve done research on Google looking how to implement and I've gotten some code on how to retrieve a User Name of the current user but nothing prevailed for what I needed :[ Any ideas? I'm noobish, taking Computer Science in Fall so I'm preparing and still learning.
This code suppose to take the user's input of current balnace, the annual interest rate, the current month, and amount he/she will pay per month. When the CALCULATE button is clicked the program starting with the current month, should compute and display for each month until the balance is reduced to zero, the month, the interest charge, payment, and new balance. But somehow im stuck in an infinite loop and its not displaying anything.

View 1 RepliesI have 2 linked DB tables, Artists and Albums using ArtistID as the primary/foreign key.When I want to add a new Album, I have a new form open and I can fill a combobox with the list of Artists to choose from and edit all the details then save to the database.
However, when I want to edit the Album info, I can't seem to get the Artist associated with the Album, as well as all the rest of the Artists from that table, (in case I need to change the Artist associated with the Album).The information required comes from 2 linked tables, so that's where I'm getting lost.An example of this is when a person edits their profile on a webpage, for instance, a list of countries is usually listed in a combobox and the one selected is the country they selected when filling out the form previously, however, they still have the option to change it.
I have a button inside a one of my forms which contain a lot of coding and normally a lot of variables declaration.
Is there is a option/add-on that I can use/set that enable me to display all the variable used inside the sub or function I am currently working in?
All I can find is add-on to display the Properties/Methods and only Public variables inside the form or inside the class. but I need to list the local variables also.

I'm using the Details View control of VWD asp.net 2008
I have a users database table. One of the columns contain the "uniqueidentifier" user's profile ID, created by VWD (from the automatic profiles table).
From my table, I would like to select only the data pertaining to the logged in user.
How do I get the current unique user profileID in general and then how do I use that for my query?
In the configure data source option of the control, I select the check box for "Return Only Unique IDs" and the WHERE option. In this new window I select the Column to the profile userID ... "=" and then assumed I should select Source: "Profile".
Now what should the parameter properties or value be to select only the current logged userID?
OR how can I do this just in C#? There doesn't seem to be any code behind after instering a DB with the VWD controls?
