Hi All,

I'm new to lightswitch and we had a requirement to display currently logged in user name on the screen.

I need to display currently logged in user name on the top right corner of my home screen in lightswitch html client?

How can i do this?

Thanks & Regards

Answer 1

Getting the currently logged-on user requires an asynchronous server call in the HTML client.  And while the technique to do that is described at lightswitchhelpwebsite.com, I would encourage you as a newcomer to LightSwitch to instead invest in the e-book by the website's author that has that and many other HTML techniques you'll probably need as you build your application.  You're likely save yourself a lot of time and frustration if you do.
