How to show the User Name on the Cart.aspx page when a user is connected.

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am trying to find how I can get the User Name and display it in the top of the Cart.aspx.

For the diplay point of view, this is fine (I have created a <Literal> with a property ID, and specified it in the prerender.)

However, i can not find anywhere how to take the UserID from.

Do you know if there is a way to get this Data?

Thanks.

I use something like this within the login control::

<%@ Import Namespace="netpoint.classes" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="netpoint.api.account" %>

 private NPBasePage _bp;

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e){
        bp = (NPBasePage)Page;
        NPUser u = new NPUser(bp.UserID);   
        Literal1.Text = u.FirstName + " " + u.Surname;
    }

Hi Yoann and Martin,

As a rule of thumb, when adding code to WT pages that have codebehind, use:

 protected override void OnPreRender(EventArgs e)

This way you can be fairly sure you will not bump heads with Webtool's page load

To achieve this without programming, you could put the banner plugin in the top slot and then use the %%UserName%% variable.
