getting the username from a loginview.

Mark Uy

hi again

i have simple web form that is dependent on the login control of asp.net

here's a snapshot:

http://s279.photobucket.com/albums/kk137/wh3resmycar/?action=view&current=login.jpg

i already have a loginview control working that says "Welcome back [user name]" ( in this case the user name is "new").

anyway, i need to get the value of the username to be inserted on to a table along with the other contact details.

i tried this method >>> "LoginView1.ClientID.ToString();"

but it didnt seem to work as i wasnt able to extract the value of the username.

// what i did was test if i can get the value and display it using a label first "Label1.Text = LoginView1.ClientID.ToString();"

didnt seem to work as the label displayed its default value.

any idea?

thanks in advance.

You can also use this code sample

     protected void Login1_Authenticate(object sender, AuthenticateEventArgs e)
    {
        Login Login1 = ((Login)LoginView1.FindControl("Login1"));
        string userName = Login1.UserName.ToString();
        string password = Login1.Password.ToString();
      
        if (Membership.ValidateUser(userName, password))
        {
            if (Request.QueryString["ReturnUrl"] != null)
            {
                FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(userName, true);
            }
            else
            {
                FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(userName, true);
                Response.Redirect("~/Default.aspx");
            }
        }
        else
        {
            Label lblResults = (Label)Login1.FindControl("lblResults");
            lblResults.Visible = true;
            lblResults.Text = "regarding that you have only 5 times to try";
            if ((Membership.GetUser(userName) != null) && (Membership.GetUser(userName).IsLockedOut == true))
                lblResults.Text = "  Your account has been locked out.";
        }
    }

it doesnt seem to work.

i tried this:

string username = User.Identity.Name;

Label1.Text = username;

the label is still displaying its default values, which is "Label".

string Username = User.Identity.Name;
