User.Identify.Name

[Guest]

I am not quites sure which happens first... the Form Load Event for the form or the form load event for the user control. I am wanting to obtain the User.Identify.Name in the UserControl, but I am not quite sure how to get a hold of the value. If I can only get it from the form which contains the control, how do I create a reference in the UserControl to the form which contains it? I tried to add a reference to the UserControl for the object which User object is derived from, but that did not seem to work

Any Ideas?

Details, please, Jim.

What exact problem are you having when you try to get User.Identity.Name
from within the user control?

You need to access like this inside usercontrol

Page.User.Identity.name

From usercontrol first you need to access the page object in which this
usercontrol is there then you can access other properties of page object.

Thanks... Not shure why in the UserControl I have to prefix with Page

object, but not in the page that calls it.
