Question

i was unable to create session using login control. It supposed to be put in submit button, so i convert to template and double click at the login button, write :

session ["username"] = UserName.text

Since the textbox id for username field is UserName, so i put UserName.text unfortunately the id is giving me error.

UserName does not exist in current context.

So, what should i do to keep the username in session. Any suggestion?
Thank you.

Please try this:

 Session["username"] = LoginCtrlID.UserName;

Eg:
Suppose your Login Control is:

<asp:Login ID="Login1" runat="server">
<LayoutTemplate>
  ...
 <asp:TextBox ID="UserName" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
  ...
</LayoutTemplate>
</asp:Login>

Try to get like:

Session[“username”] = Login1.UserName;
