Question

When I try

user = System.Web.UI.Page.CurrentUser

or

I get an erro

Answer 1

CurrentUser doesn't seem to be a property on System.Web.UI.Page. (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.page.aspx)

Your controller should expose a property named User, does that work? For example:

var user = User;
