Logged in Username in Sharepoint 2010 Forms Based Authentication [closed]

Question

When using forms based authentication in Sharepoint 2010, suppose user is logged in with username "admin" and our custom membership provider name is "FBAProvider"... After logging in with this account, logged in user name is displayed like "i:0#.|FBAProvider|admin". How can make it display as it should be like just "admin"?

Thanks in advance,

Mete

Answer 1

What code are you using to display the username?

SPContext.Current.Web.CurrentUser

will give you a SPUser object. There are many properties that you can use there, and assuming that your User Information List has the correct information (which it must if you user logs in using only "admin" and not "FBAProvider::admin". Find the field that has the display information that you are looking for.

I'm guessing either Email, LoginName or Name
