have you tried...

string memberGuid = HttpContext.Current.Request.Cookies["umbracoMemberGuid"].Value;

umbraco.cms.businesslogic.member.Member member = new Member(new guid(memberGuid));

int memberId = member.Id;

Kevin I tried what you suggested btu I received this error:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

What I did was just used your code & tried to print that ID by click on a button. I referenced & used using umbraco.cms.businesslogic.member;
using umbraco.cms;
& this is my code. Nothing fancy just a simple click button.

 protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            string memberGuid = HttpContext.Current.Request.Cookies["umbracoMemberGuid"].Value;
            umbraco.cms.businesslogic.member.Member member = new Member(new Guid(memberGuid));
            int memberId = member.Id;
            TextBox1.Text = memberId.ToString();
        }

Can you point me where I am making a mistake.

Think you can get current member using

umbraco.cms.businesslogic.member.Member.GetCurrentMember().Id

skiltz, I think I am getting things wrong can you let me know how can I store the value of memberID of currently logged in member & do let me know what umbraco libraries are to be referenced in the user control.

I apolgize for asking too much but can you give me a simple code that takes the memberID & displays it as a label or literal

skiltz,

I even tried this code you specified in this fashion:

int memberID = umbraco.cms.businesslogic.member.Member.GetCurrentMember().Id;
Label1.Text = memberID.ToString();

So there something I am doing wrong since I am getting the same error which I think is because its getting null value.

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

To make sure there is a member logged in I do login as a member first before going to the content oage where I have this user control embedded.

Have you uploaded your .ascx page as well???  To get the members name you would normally use Label1.Text = User.Identity.Name;

yes I did uploaded the .ascx page to /usercontrols folder & made macro out of it.

I wanted to get the currently logged in member's nodeId & may be try ot print it as a label or inside a textbox should also work I just need to get an idea about how to store it in a variable so I can pass it if required

Have you also copied your dll to the /bin folder?

Regards,
Kevin

Yes Kevin, I did that. I copied .dll to /bin folder & .ascx file to the /usercontrol folder.

I would appreciate if you have the code to show memberID (nodeId imean) it can be via label, literal or textbox on any button click or anyways than can you please pass me on the solution. I am this will take just 5-10 mins at the max to you guys to make that solution but this will surely help me alot in my project.

I am really confused about how to get this thing working.

*bump*

Could you email me your code, or the part of the code that is causing the error to kevin_farrow (at) yahoo.com and I should be able to help.

I emailed you last night kevin, eagerly waiting for your response :)
