is it possible to retrieve userID of the user from loginView?

Question

im using the loginView in asp.net like this :

<asp:LoginView ID="HeadLoginView" runat="server" EnableViewState="false">
<AnonymousTemplate>
    <a href="#login" id="HeadLoginStatus" runat="server">Log In</a>
</AnonymousTemplate>
<LoggedInTemplate>
    <asp:LoginName ID="HeadLoginName" runat="server" />
    <asp:LoginStatus ID="HeadLoginStatus" runat="server" LogoutAction="Redirect" LogoutText="Log Out" LogoutPageUrl="~/" />
</LoggedInTemplate>

library.aspx.cs

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Security;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

namespace IRELBS.Library
{
    public partial class Library : System.Web.UI.Page
    {
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            tbxUserID.Text = Membership.GetUser.ProviderUserKey.ToString(); 
        }
    }
}

        </div>
        <asp:TextBox ID="tbxUserID" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
    </asp:Content>

is there anyway to retrieve the user id the same way or do i need to write ADO.Net codes to get the userID ?? thank you in advance

Answer 1

Assuming you are using the standard FormsAuthentication you can get the ID by inspecting Membership.GetUser.ProviderUserKey . It will be a GUID so if you want to display it you will need to use Membership.GetUser.ProviderUserKey.ToString
