Issues doing a User.Identity.Name

[slimasian]

Hey Guys,

 

This may be something really dumb on my part, but I figured I'd ask. On a PageLoad event for my ASP.NET web app, I have it assign a variable "userID" a value of User.Identity.Name

 

I actually used the code from a previous post here. When I preview this on the browser, it seems User.Identity.Name is given a blank value (I assigned TextBox1.Text = userID). I placed Imports System.Web.Security at the very top of the code, and everything built just dandy. Anyone had this issue before of User.Identity.Name spitting out a blank value?

 

Like I said, I'm probably doing something wrong, so if I am, please let me know haha I'm a newbie to .NET in general...here's the code for the PageLoad:

 

Dim userID as String

userID = User.Identity.Name

TextBox1.Text = userID

 

 

[Output:TextBox1 remains blank upon load]

 

 

Thanks for the help!

Where are you setting your User.Identity.Name to anything? Show us that code.

Does your website require the user to authenticate? If not then they will not have a username....
