In login button click maintain the name of user in session.
in master page load write below code

if(session["Username"]!=null)
   lblname.text=session["Username"].tostring();

[AJ]
I would prefer using session variables as properties. Please create some properties for getting/setting session["Username"] instead of directly accessing it, which will increase the readability or maintainability. Either you can create a property in the same class or can use a common SessionHelper class.

Solution 3

To display a username,this means that you are using membership on your website.So my advice is to add a login view,and put inside it loginname control.

Solution 4

i think you have to add a user control names it as header and put your name in that
and drag that user control on your page...

if you talking about the logged in name then just put login view control from the toolbox... :)
