So I have a masterpage that has an image whos source is a controller action returning a filestream.

The image will be different for each logged in user.

right now in my masterpage view i have this code wich relies on viewdata.

  <img id="dealerlogo" src='/Files/DealerImage/GetDealerLogo/<%=Html.Encode(ViewData["dealerid"]) %>' alt="" />

obviously the problem with this is that I will need to provide the viewdata containing the ID
on everycontroller action returning a view that uses this master page, which is pretty much all of them.
Is there a better way to do this? Like is there a way to get the username right in the view?
Thanks!

    You can use the Page.User.Identity.Name just like in the default logonusercontrol.aspx that is created for you when you create a new asp.net MVC site.

    Welcome <b><%= Html.Encode(Page.User.Identity.Name ) %></b>

    So for you, you would want something like this:

      <img id="dealerlogo" src='/Files/DealerImage/GetDealerLogo/<%=Html.Encode(Page.User.Identity.Name) %>' alt="" />
