To use bold text format for an author's name in biblatex bibliography I use \textbf{LastName, FirstName, MiddleName} command in bibliography database. I wonder if it is possible to use some special text format for an author's name in biblatex bibliography by defining some command in LaTeX preamble. Thanks

Something like this

\renewcommand{\mkbibnamefirst}[1]{\textbf{#1}}
\renewcommand{\mkbibnamelast}[1]{\textbf{#1}}

For all authors, you might want to have a look at Bold the last name of the first author in a biblatex bibliography or Make author names bold in bibliography only; for specific authors: Make specific author bold using biblatex. You should not use formatting directives like \textbf in the author field. The name format should be "Last, First Middle" or "First Middle Last". – moewe Jun 08 '14 at 14:04
The code you added to your question is exactly what I would use, if I wanted to have all names in bold. So what exactly is your question? – moewe Jun 08 '14 at 14:06
I want to bold my name only. – MYaseen208 Jun 08 '14 at 14:10

Ahh, I see, then Make specific author bold using biblatex is what you need, you might also like biblatex-publist which draws from biblatex: filter out publications from a specific author in the references dynamically. – moewe Jun 08 '14 at 14:12
