Thanks Adam for your quick response. Here is how I have implemented this method:

 

        Dim MemberName As String = ""

        Dim cmd As New SqlCommand
        cmd.Connection = New SqlConnection(GetConnectionString(Nothing))
        cmd.CommandText = "SELECT FirstName,LastName FROM Members WHERE MemberID = " & useruniquename
        cmd.Connection.Open()
        Try
            Dim sdr As SqlDataReader = cmd.ExecuteReader()
            Try
                Do While sdr.Read()
                    MemberName = sdr.GetString(0) & " " & sdr.GetString(1)
                Loop
            Finally
                sdr.Close()
            End Try
        Finally
            cmd.Connection.Close()
        End Try

        Return MemberName

 

However I am still getting the value coming from the DisplayName field of the CuteChatUser table. Am I missing something?

 

Thanks.
