FormsAuthentication obtaining user name

[carlblanchard]

Hi I am using FormsAuthentication in my application and i need to grab the user who is logged in on a certain page, is it possible to get the username from FormsAuthentication or would i have to sent another cookie/session once they have logged in ?

thanks in advance

Normally you set the user name with the authentication ticket - so you can easily grab it from the ticket anytime later.
