    <p>I have created a website with a custom login to my database using SQL Server and would like to know how to display the text of the user logged in. Currently it is showing the users "Login" beside the word welcome but I would rather show the users actual name. I am new to MVC3 and would like to know how to change the following line in the _LogOnPartial.cshtml to display a field from my database "AgentFirstName" </p> <pre><code>&lt;text&gt;Welcome &lt;strong&gt;@User.Identity.Name&lt;/strong&gt; </code></pre> <p>Here is my AccountControler</p> <pre><code>[HttpPost] public ActionResult LogOn(LogOnModel model) { if (ModelState.IsValid) { if (DAL.MyWebsiteContextClass.userIsValid(model.AgentLogin, model.AgentPassword)) { FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(model.AgentLogin, false); return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home"); } else { ModelState.AddModelError("", "The user name or password provided is incorrect."); } } return View(model); } </code></pre> <p>Here is my agents model</p> <pre><code>public class Agents { public virtual int ID { get; set; } public virtual string AgentFirstName { get; set; } public virtual string AgentLastName { get; set; } public virtual string AgentLogin { get; set; } public virtual string AgentPassword{ get; set; } </code></pre> <p>With a web config set like this</p> <pre><code>&lt;add name="MyWebsiteContextClass" connectionString="Data Source=My-SQL\SQLEXPRESS; Initial Catalog=MyWebsite; Persist Security Info=True;User ID=sa;Password=password" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/&gt; </code></pre> <p>And this is in my context Class</p> <pre><code>public DbSet&lt;Agents&gt; AgentsPkg { get; set; } </code></pre> <p>Unfortunatley I do not know what else you might need to help me but if you need anything please ask and I will do what I can. Thanks for your help</p>

    1. COI know this seems like it should be an easy first thing to try, but it's actually quite a bit more complicated than it seems. To do it right, you have to learn a lot of underlying things. First question is, do you already have a database that includes this information? And how is it keyed? (how do you look it up?)

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
