    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,

    Ed

    Try:

    HttpContext.Current.User.identity.name

    Or

    Page.User.Identity.Name

    Hope it helps!^_^

    Or

    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
