How to get UserName of logon control from code

F

Froefel

I have added a Login control to a Master Page. the control shows the
currently logged in user (domainname\username).
In one of the content pages, I need to access this name.
I noticed that the Login control has a UserName property but it's in
the Nonpublic properties, so it's not accessible from my code.

I was trying to get to the name as follows:
string username = ((LoginName)
Master.FindControl("lnLoginName")).UserName;

but that's failing...

I was thinking of adding the username to a session variable, but I
have a feeling that it's not the right approach in today's new world
of web programming.

Does anyone know how to get the current username in a code-behind file
for a content page? Or is there something fundamental that I'm
missing?

Thanks in advance.

You sure User.Identity.Name is not what you wanted? It is in the
Form Authentication framework.

Thanks Anthony.

User.Identity.Name does it.

I'll have a look at the link Tim sent as well...
Thanks to you both.
