How to store user name from LoginName control

Hi,

Is any one can show me a trick how to store a user name from LoginName control into a variable in C#?

What I like to be able to do is, after user sucessfully login and the browser load the default page, I would like to display a pop-up message "Welcome, UserName". So I will program this pop-up message in Page_Load().

Thanks for your help.

Hi there,

Instead of getting the name from the LoginName control, you should get it from the MembershipUser instead:

Code:

string userName = string.Empty;
MembershipUser myMembershipUser = Membership.GetUser();
if (myMembershipUser != null)
{
  erName = myMembershipUser.UserName;
}

If GetUser) returns a non-null value, the variable myMembershipUser then holds the currently logged in user which has a UserName property.

Hope this helps,

Imar
