Hello I've written some code to check information based on the authenticated user. The following code works on an ASPX page load but fails when I move into a Master Page. Specifically, the error is "Compiler Error Message: BC30451: Name 'User' is not declared."

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

' Get & split Domain user Information

Dim strDomainUser As String = User.Identity.Name

....

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Try:

HttpContext.Current.User.identity.name

Page.User.Identity.Name

Hope it helps!^_^

Dim strDomainUser As String = Context.User.Identity.Name

Context object is available in earlier dotnet releases also.

If Context.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated Then

Response.Write("Current user:" & Context.User.Identity.Name)

Else

Response.Write("Unauthenticated request.")

End If
