Hello!

I am new in ASP.net programming.
I am trying to sort data using a mysql statement. In this program, user will enter a userID and it will show list of task for that userID. I am not sure on what command to use, but i know it is something like this:

C#

String strSQL;
           strSQL = "SELECT * FROM nametable WHERE userID=idname";

What is the proper syntax to sort mysql data through a value of a variable?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Use ORDER BY:
http://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_orderby.asp[^]
For example:

C#

String strSQL;
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM nametable WHERE userID=idname ORDER BY taskname ASC";

[EDIT after reading your comment]

Updated version of code block

C#

String strSQL;
           strSQL = "SELECT * FROM nametable WHERE userID='" + idname + "'"; // in this case, idname is a variable in your code file

Thanks for the fast response.

But this program should only show tasks created by a single user.
Let me clarify it, this is actually an online to-do list. Once the user log-in, all the tasks created by him will be retrieved.

So, it is something like.. select * from tasktable where userid = idname (*idname used in log-in)

But, I don't know what the correct command to use.

You wrote the apostrophes? If <small>idname</small> is an integer, don't write the apostrophes. If <small>idname</small> isn't an integer, write the apostrophes.
