Although you could use the ItemTemplate code that VWD automatically generates from
the metadata of the selected data source, you will reuse the ASPX source from one
of the supplied User Controls to keep a consistent look-and-feel.

under Controls, double-click LatestBlogs.ascx.
Copy everything between the PlaceHolder control, as you see below.
Switch back to Blogs.aspx and replace the existing content between
the ItemTemplate tags with the copied content. Finally, change
the DataList control's ID property to "blogsDataList"
and set its Width property to "100%".
8. Switch to Design view. Your page should now appear as follows:
9. In the Solution Explorer, right-click Blog.aspx
and select View Code. Inside the class add a public variable named
"MemberNameTitle" of type String. To the Page_Load event handler
add the following:
If Request("un") = "lookup" Then
Response.Redirect("Blog.aspx?un=" + User.Identity.Name)
End If
If Not IsNothing(Request("un")) Then
MemberNameTitle = Request("un") + "'s Blogs"
