I'm creating a control and need to pass it the current logon user as a parameter (declaratively)

I tried this but didn't work (I got "<%= User.Identity.Name %>" as value):

<cc1:MyControl id="myid" runat="server" User="<%= User.Identity.Name %>" />

Is there a way to do it?

Why do you need to pass it at all?. The user control can access the User.Identity.Name property directly.

Inside that control, you will have access to this.Page.User, so that's one way. Another is to use HttpContext.Current.User.

You can do this in the codebehind:

myid.User = User.Identity.Name

Try using:

User="<%= User.Identity.Name %>"

%= is for output

%# is for databinding.

Try changing the double quotes in the User attribute to single quotes. I've seen that work in the past...
