    Having trouble getting the member name to display.

    Hi. i'm using V4 and trying to use the .Net member controls to get at my member info.

    I want to display my members name on a page and have come up with a control that does the following

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
            {
                Member myMember = Member.GetCurrentMember();
                string strName = "cannot find property";
                try
                {
                    myMember.getProperty("Name").ToString();
                }
                catch
                {
                    //hmmm. something wrong here.
                }
                lblUserName.Text = strName;
            }

     

    I'm after the member name, NOT the login, but the name that appears in the umbraco admin when you're searching for a particular member.

    I've googled and can't see how to access the "default" properties of a member, of which this is one.

    Can anyone help?

    I've missed out a "strName=" in that try statement, but still having the same problems. How does one edit a post on here?

    Shaun,

     

    A member's name can be retrieved as:

    myMember.Text;

     

    Hope this helps.

    Regards,

    /Dirk

    Members should be interacted via the ASP.NET Membership API, not the Member API directly. There is a section on the wiki for this.

    @Slace That's cool, but you can't display the MemberName using the Membership API, only the Username.
