Question

I’m posting the upper portion of code. No matter what I do the compiler says I’m missing a name space or I’m using a method like a class or its expecting ‘or =’. I’m totally new to C# programming.

The problem: Query checks if people are in your network. People with others in network, no error. People without others in their network, error. (I didnt even get to looping through the network query to populate the ‘friends’ section in the XML portion if friends are in their network)

Thanks is advance for the help

Try this.

protected string Auth(string uid)
{
    string xml = String.Empty;

    if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(Request["uid"]))
    {
        string query1 = "SELECT userid, username, city, state, country, birthday, img1, userLevelName, gendername, title FROM UserInfo INNER JOIN Gend ON UserInfo.gendID = Gend.gendID INNER JOIN UserLevel ON UserInfo.UserLevelID = UserLevel.UserLevelID WHERE userid='" + Request["uid"] + "'";
        System.Data.DataTable dtTable = FillDataTableFromDB(query1);
        string query2 = "SELECT MemID FROM network WHERE userid='" + Request["uid"] + "'";
        System.Data.DataTable memTable = FillDataTableFromDB(query2);            
        xml = "<login result=\"OK\">" +
            "<userData>" +
                "<id><![CDATA[" + dtTable.Rows[0]["userid"] + "]]></id>" +
                "<name><![CDATA[" + dtTable.Rows[0]["username"] + "]]></name>" +

                "<details><![CDATA[" + dtTable.Rows[0]["title"] + "]]></details>" +
                "<level><![CDATA[" + dtTable.Rows[0]["userlevelname"] + "]]></level>" +
                "<profileUrl>http://www.somesite.com/" + dtTable.Rows[0]["username"] + "</profileUrl>" +
            "</userData>";
        if(memTable != null && memTable.Rows.Count >0)
        {

            string query3 = "SELECT Distinct userid, username, img1, birthday, gendid, city, state, country, title FROM UserInfo WHERE (userinfo.userid IN (" + memTable.Rows[0]["memid"] + ")) AND userinfo.img1 is not null order by userinfo.username";
            System.Data.DataTable netTable = FillDataTableFromDB(query3);
            if(netTable != null && netTable.Rows.Count >0)
            {
                xml = "<friends>";

                foreach(System.Data.DataRow row in netTable.Rows)
                {
                    xml = "<friend>" +

                        "<level>regular</level>" +
                        "</friend>";
                }
                xml = "</friends>";
            }
        }
    }
    return xml;
}

private System.Data.DataTable FillDataTableFromDB(string query)
{
    System.Data.DataTable datatable = new System.Data.DataTable(); 
    string connString = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["LocalSqlServer"].ConnectionString;
    using (System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection conn = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(connString))
    {
        using (System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter adapter = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter(query, conn))
        {
            adapter.Fill(datatable);
        }
    }
    return datatable;
}

P.S: Please do not code like what is given in your snippet. Functions are there for a reason. Also there is something called StringBuilder. Whats the point on using virtual on aspx? This code just solves the errors. I am sad that you are not making a serious attempt at coding.
