Whats the best way to get the list of top 5 "my recent forum posts" and top 5 "my recent blog comments" ? Please point me to the right direction or post a complete working code if possible I am so new to this your help is appreciated so much ,

For example please include whether my new page needs to inherit from any other page or what namespaces I need to import and such.

I need to display this information in the form of an IFrame so I do not want to display the master page stuff , header, footer, I just need the data post data

Thank you

My reply to you post here  should also work for CS2007. You don't have to use an IFrame if you don't want the Master Page.

When I dont use the master page it errors out on pretty much on all the controls , can you show a complete code which includes all the "imports" and retreive the "my top 5 forum" post for example? Thank you so much

This example displays your 5 most recent blog posts.

<%@ Page EnableViewState="false" Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true"   %>

<script runat="server" language="C#">

    void Page_Load()
    {
        int userID = CommunityServer.Components.CSContext.Current.User.UserID;
        ((WeblogPostList)CSControlUtility.Instance().FindControl(this, "BlogInformation")).QueryOverrides.UserID = userID;
    }
   
    DateTime lastDate = DateTime.MinValue;
    string lastDateKey = string.Empty;
    CommunityServer.Components.User user = CommunityServer.Components.CSContext.Current.User;
   
    public bool ShowDateHeader(string key, object date)
    {
        DateTime currDate = user.GetTimezone((DateTime)date).Date;
        if (currDate != lastDate || key != lastDateKey)
        {
            lastDateKey = key;
            lastDate = currDate;
            return true;
        }
        else
            return false;
    }

</script>
