User details in authenticated page

[NWx]

Hi,

I implement forms authentication, and once authenticated, I want to display
user name in a control.
I created a user control, placed on header of every page, and it contains a
label control I want to use to display username of currently logged user.
Do I have this info available in every page? How?

Thank you.

If your forms authentication is designed properly, then the HttpContext.User
property contains an IPrincipal object with an Identity property whose Name
property should be the name of the user. Thus you should be able to do:

Page.User.Identity.Name or Context.User.Identity.Name to get the user's name
from wherever in your code.
