Hi You can useUser.Identity.Name to get the user name as suggested by rajeesh and praveen. There is one more way you get. Just store the user name in session and access the session value in any view. Eg: just invoke the session on success of login. and store he session value as shown below: Session[ UserName ]= Uaer_Name ; Now access the value on any view: if (Session[ UserName ]!= null ) { string username=Session[ UserName ].ToString(); }
