I think this may be a really junior question, but I'm just starting c# and CSLA... if I have a windows form that has a binding to a Business List base that shows a listing of users, on the same form I'm allowing people to edit those users. I want to directly pass the Id from the Current User into the save so that the User Id shows up in the database, but I can't figure out how to submit that value to the child of the user collection. Sorry if this sounds confusing. Currently everything else saves fine on the form.

You can always get the current user like this:

Protected Friend Overridable Sub Update(ByVal tr As IDbTransaction)
Dim user As MyCustomPrincipal
user = DirectCast(Thread.CurrentPrincipal, MyCustomPrincipal)

Dim userID As String = user.UserID

etc.

Also, How would I do that in c#

Thanks again

IN your DP_I or DP_U,

MyPrincipal prin;

int userId;

prin = (MyPrincial)ApplicationContext.User;

userid = prin.Identity.UserId; // Assuming you have a userID on your Identity object
