To do this use below given code :             using (SPSite site = new SPSite(SPContext.Current.Web.Url))             {                 using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())                 {                     SPList list = web.Lists.TryGetList("MyList");                     SPListItem item = list.GetItemById(1);                     web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;                     //You can use user id (integer)                      //item[SPBuiltInFieldId.Author] = SPContext.Current.Web.CurrentUser.ID;                     //You can use SPUser object also.                     item[SPBuiltInFieldId.Author] = SPContext.Current.Web.CurrentUser;                     item.Update();                     web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;                 }             }

How to find missing web part?

To find missing web parts in SharePoint we have many ways. Here I am going to show you 2 ways. With use of STSADM command :                stsadm.exe -o enumallwebs -includewebparts > c:\bkup\aa.txt                  This command will send the output in “C:\bkup\aa.txt:” file & where you can find “Status="Missing Type”. Basically this file will contain data in xml format & you will get information about the all sites you have with url & id. With use of SQL statement : a.        Use [WSS_Content] b.       SELECT SiteId , AllDocs . DirName as SiteUrl , AllDocs . LeafName as PageUrl , AllDocs . DirName + '/' + AllDocs . LeafName as Url , WebParts . tp_DisplayName as DisplayName FROM [dbo] . [AllDocs] INNER JOIN [dbo] . [WebParts] ON [AllDocs] . Id = [WebParts] . [tp_PageUrlID] WHERE [WebParts] . [tp_WebPartTypeId] = '8d6034c4-a416-e535-281a-6b714894e1aa' ORDER BY Url '8d6034c4-a416-e535-281a-6b714894e1aa

When inheriting from the SharePoint WebPart Base class your derived WebPart class will inherit from Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.WebPart. When inheriting from the ASP.NET 2.0 WebPart base class your derived WebPart class will inherit from System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.WebPart. It is considered good practice to use the ASP.NET WebPart base class since the old base class is meant for backwards compatibility with previous version of SharePoint, however there are four exception when it is better to leverage functionality from the SharePoint WebPart base class: Cross page
