I created a member section where logged in members could change its profile information but I stuck at how I can retrieve back those saved values on frontend for editing.

The code snippet below is for creating user but I do not know how to retrieved back those saved values.

                DropDownList ddlSector = (DropDownList)CreateUserWizardStep0.FindControl("Sector");
                string lbSectorValue = "";
                foreach (ListItem item in ddlSector.Items)
                    if (item.Selected) lbSectorValue += (lbSectorValue == "" ? "" : ",") + item.Value;
                mp.Sector = lbSectorValue;

                ListBox lbJobDescription = (ListBox)CreateUserWizardStep0.FindControl("JobDescription");
                string lbJobDescriptionValue = "";
                foreach (ListItem item in lbJobDescription.Items)
                    if (item.Selected) lbJobDescriptionValue += (lbJobDescriptionValue == "" ? "" : ",") + item.Value;
                mp.JobDescription = lbJobDescriptionValue;

Any help much appreciated

Hey ds,

You can access the member properties using umbraco.library:GetMember()

In xslt see here for an example

http://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/xslt/15177-Can't-Access-Member-Properties-(Using-452)

Or in c# look here

Hi Rich,

Thanks for the info you supplied. I will have a look at it. In code behind, how can I get member property data from either dropdownlist or listbox custom data type on backend and populate either dropdownlist or listbox with user selection on frontend? Thats where I stuck at actually.

HI Ds,

Sorry, I'm a little confused about what you are trying to do?

Could you please explain a little further, screenshots are often helpful too.

Rich,

Following is from backend in member section

and that picture below is from frontend. Logged in user should see their profile information like in the above but I can get only values not user selection.

Hope this time I have made myself clear.

Sorry I'm still a little confused.

Are you saying that you want to get member data (JobDescription for example) for a member in the drop down on your front end (Ahsap Malzeme for example?)

That is right, Rich.

Like Ahsap Malzeme and Akvaryum-Hayvan Bakm ve Malzemeleri should be seen as selected on frontend as well.

Hi,

I think you just need to set the Selected Value of your ListBox, right?

ie, lbJobDescription.SelectedValue = mp.JobDescription;

Hi Tom,

The problem is to populate dropdown or listbox with the selected value like shown above in my previous posts
