Question

I am trying to run the following script:

Here LoginName1 is a System.Web.UI.WebControls.LoginName. The LoginName1 displays the username in the webpage just fine.
However it does not seem to work. Where am i going wrong?

Here is the full code [latest]:

<%@ Page Title="Home Page" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Site1.master" AutoEventWireup="true"
    CodeBehind="~/Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="memberlogin.Default" %>


<asp:Content ID="HeaderContent" runat="server" ContentPlaceHolderID="HeadContent">
<script runat="server" >
    public void redirect()
    {// I have removed previous content - it JUST WONT REDIRECT THE PAGE
        //String loginame = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name;
        //if (loginame == "usertest")
        Response.Redirect( "Default.aspx");   
       }
</script>
</asp:Content>
<asp:Content ID="BodyContent" runat="server" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent" >
    <h1>
        <span class="input">Welcome to the members-only page.</span>
    </h1>
    <h2>
        Start Client Side Application.
    </h2>
                        <asp:LoginView ID="LoginView1" runat="server">
                <AnonymousTemplate>
                    <span class="input">&nbsp;You are not logged in. Click the Login link to sign in</span>
                </AnonymousTemplate>
                <LoggedInTemplate>
                    <span class="input">You are logged in. Welcome, </span>
                </LoggedInTemplate>
            </asp:LoginView>
            <asp:LoginName ID="LoginName1" runat="server" />
            &nbsp;&nbsp;
            <table class="style1">
                <tr>
                    <td align="center" valign="middle">

                        <br />
                        <br />
                        Click on This Image Link To Start The Application<br />
                        <br />
                        <asp:ImageButton   OnClick="click" runat="server" ID="ImageButton1" Height="100px" 
                            ImageUrl="~/Images/loader.jpg" PostBackUrl="~/Loading.aspx" />

                        <br />
                        <br />

                        <br />
                        <br />
                        <br />
                        <br />
                    </td>
                </tr>
            </table>
            <asp:LoginStatus ID="LoginStatus1" runat="server"

Answer 1

Have you tried getting the username from HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name?

Judging from the context, I’m guessing that LoginName1 is a label or another .NET control that does not have any ViewState associated with it. If so, the code above should work.
