Can I attach a login form's username into the URL as a query string parameter?

Question

I have a standard Login form

<asp:Login ID="lgnExcel" DestinationPageUrl="login/data.aspx" OnAuthenticate="Login1_Authenticate" runat="server">

Is it possible to attach the Username as a query string with the DestinationPageUrl or reference the value in the code behind. I've tried lgnExcel.UserName.ToString() but coudldn't get to show any help would be great. Thanks.

Why not just grab the username from the User.Identity.Name field on the destination page?

Well what I want to do is grab the default value and insert it into a database. I know how to display it but I want the raw text/value in the code behind.

Alright for future lurkers to get the value of your username in you code behind try { string getname = Page.User.Identity.Name; } and you can retain the value across pages.

Not exactly... I mean he DID add "string getname = Page" lol. Maybe he's going for the Self Learner badge?
