getting the username from a loginview.

Question

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. ; } } )
