One of the requirements while I was working in SharePoint 2010 was displaying the user name in the master page.<\/p>\n

So the following are the 2 pieces of code.<\/p>\n

Add the following code to the body tag inside master page. Make sure the below code is outside of any tag which has the runat=”server” property set.<\/p>\n

<script type=”text\/javascript”>var loginName = “<%= Microsoft.SharePoint.SPContext.Current.Web.CurrentUser.Name %>”;<\/script><\/p>\n

Now put the following code where ever required.<\/p>\n

<span>Welcome, <script type=”text\/javascript”>document.write(loginName);<\/script><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
