The name of the current User

Hi

I am working on a Web User Control that will contain the name of the logged
user
The problem is that the User property is only part of the Page and I can't
access it from within the control

Is there another way of retrieving the user's name?

thank you,
Samuel

Maybe I miss something, but Page is a property of
System.Web.UI.UserControl whcih should be inherited by your user control.
