Help required in Changing the password for the currently logged in user

Question

Hi  My application is using the Membership API methods. I have a login page on which the user will be validated using Membership.ValidateUser(). After login he can proceed to use the application. There is a Change password section where I have provided three textboxes - 1.Old pwd 2.New pwd 3. confirm new pwd. When the user enters the details and clicks on change password button I am trying to use the MembershipProvider.ChangePassword() method. This method requires a MembershipUSer instance so I wrote the following code : MembershipUser u = Membership .GetUser(User.Identity.UserName ); if (u != null ) { MembershipProvider mp; mp.ChangePassword(u.UserNameTxtPwd.TextTxtNewPwd.Text); } The Problem is that when I am using User.Identity.UserName  I am not getting the username of the currently logged in user. I am getting a blank value - . What is wrong ?
