Solution 1

The concept of Model View Controller does not support code behind file. So, if you want to write masterpage.cs that is not directly possible or should not be.

If you want to filter in then you have to mention clearly, what type of filter you want to use. there are few types of filtering like action filter and others.

Then your last question, if you want to change a value of _layout's control. Then make it as a partial view. For a specific reason or in an action if you want to change the value of layout control then call the partial view again.

here i need to maintain the username at top rightside how could i do this.
I tried to pass the data of username in index control but it visible only in index view not in others i hope its because im tried to getting the data from index control not from other action controls.

I lisened about filters concept these are useful to write the logics before or after the actions so i thought it may use. But i dnt knw which type of filters to use or how to use that to my requirment. (I'm using MVC4)

for this scenario, filtering will be more expensive. So use a partial view. For example, the partial view name is "LoggedInInfo.cshtml".

_Layout page you have to call this view using an action, like @Html.Action("loggedInAction","Account") every time. Inside this action you have to check that your form is authenticated or not. if yes then pass the user name to the partial view using viewbag or viewdata. Ohterwise do nothing.

It should be noted here, you have to keep the Idenetity of user in Current Context which is accessible from any where your application.

So, My suggestion is to use Form authentication and keep the user idenetity in current context and make the logged in info as a partial view.

Use a composite class, i mean another class which will be initialized your two model and then pass it to view. One thing for data binding expression. You have to maintain its hierarchy.
eg: if you pass an object A, this A object will have more two object a and b. The object have firstname and lastname. Then you have to bind A.a.FirsName.
