Page.Userreturnsthis.Context.Userwhich is exactly the same asHttpContext.User, so it makes no difference, both point to the same object in memory. As a side note, I would recommend you not to use either of these in a View Page, let the controller pass the needed data to the view in which case you have a third choise which is the Controller.User property.
