It's possible if you used authentication.

Authentication is a proof of identity. Your user has to login to the
site with his username and pwd. After that you can identify his
username.

I'm using Forms-based authentication. I've been following the examples
but i get a little. Do I have to create a new form or I use the same
page. since every user has his username and password. Please explain
to me how it works please? It's my first time to try this.
Thanks.

If user is already authenticated, his loginname normally is the
Context.User.Identity.Name, so just use

Label1.Text = Context.User.Identity.Name;

or something like this.

If you don't know how to work with the Forms based authentication:

Once the login has been successful, you should be able to retrieve the name
of the currently logged-in user by User.Identity.Name

Er, you said you are using forms-based authentication...

Therefore, you *already* have a login form, no...?

Hi,
Thanks for the help. The example you showed me
http://samples.gotdotnet.com/quickst...formsauth.aspx
has a line is it supposed to be writen on the login form?

If(FormsAuthentication.Authenticate(Username.Text, Password.Text))
{
FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(Username .Text, false);
}
Thanks

That above code is a piece of server-side VB.NET which actually does the
authentication...
