We are going to need more information to help you out! Are you connecting to a MySQL database? If so, this is relatively easy. You will just need to create a table called "profiles" or something like that with a few fields:
-ID
-username
-password
-firstName
-lastName
-avatarURL

Then, when the user logs in with a specified username and password, just match it with those records and download the information from the firstName, lastName, and avatarURL fields - a profile.

bro i am connecting to MySQL server...
and I have created the registration and login form same as you did in your tutorials....

But now how can I set that when a user will log in then it will only be able to see it's profile details and edit them from myprofile form....

And when this user will go to members form then the user will be able to see other's profile but cannot edit them..and each profile will have it's avatar. How can I make a picture box to get avatar from the link in the database and how users can set the link of avatar in their profile.

Please provide me this thing with code....
Thanks in advance bro.....

You can have another string within the database (Field) called "GROUP". There can be several types of groups, for example, "admin", "member", "nobody", etc.

Then, when you log in, just do something like this:
[code2=vbnet]Dim Group As String = "" 'GROUP from Database
If (Group.Equals("Admin")) Then
MakeEverythingVisible() 'Subroutine that unlocks everything
End If[/code2]

I cannot provide you with a specific solution, but instead must provide you with pseudocode since I don't know your exact situation.

You can also download pictures by using the
[code2=vbnet]My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile()[/code2]
subroutine.

Hopefully this helps!
