Getting LOGON_USER in a textbox

[Patrick Olurotimi Ige]

On PageLoad i did -:
name.ID = Request.ServerVariables[LOGON_USER];
on asp.net page i have
<asp:textbox runat="server" ID="name"/>
But when i load my page the textbox is blank
Any ideas?

It might be because you allow Annonymous Access . .

hi Patrick,

Not sure if i understood your problem correctly, but yhy dont you use


textbox.text = User.Identity.Name;
if you are using windows authentication then using the above code the
textbox will be populated with the logged in users name.

I guess u understood my question.
What i want is to have the User.Identity.name appear in a textbox! i.e
<asp:textbox/>

Yeah but why doesn't textbox.ID = User.Identity.Name work!

 

[Guest]

hi Patrick,

ID is a way of HTML to uniquely identify a control in the form,
hence assigning the UserID to TextBox.ID wont display the value in the
textbox but rather it will identify the TextBox with the identitfier value of
username.

To make it more clear try textbox.ID = User.Identity.Name
and then view source for the HTMl page generated and you can see that the
Textbox Id is Username and the Value of textbox is different.
