Introduction

By default, the System.Web.UI.WebControls.LoginName control displays the name contained in the System.Web.UI.Page.User property of the System.Web.UI.Page class. If the System.Web.UI.Page.User.Identity.Name property is empty, the control is not rendered.

Note:

If you are not familiar with the set of login controls available in ASP.NET, see ASP.NET Login Controls Overview before continuing. For a list of other topics related to login controls and membership, see Managing Users By Using Membership.

To change the text displayed by the System.Web.UI.WebControls.LoginName control, set the LoginName.FormatString property.

Note:

The System.Web.UI.WebControls.LoginName control cannot be used outside the <form> tag on a Web page. Specifically, the System.Web.UI.WebControls.LoginName cannot be used to put the user's name in the title of a page.

Accessibility

For information about how to configure this control so that it generates markup that conforms to accessibility standards, see Accessibility in Visual Studio 2010 and ASP.NET 4 and ASP.NET Controls and Accessibility.
