Question

I am developing a WPF Application in VB. I am using Windows Authentication. I have followed the steps listed here:

How to use Windows Authentication in WPF?

I would like to show what the username is in a text box which I do not know how to. Do I have to bind the text box?

I would like to show who the current user is in a text box in my Application UI. — presarioruby, Apr 16 '14 at 13:07

Yes.

Assuming that Username is the property representing your username, the following markup should bind the username to your Text property in your TextBox:

<TextBox Text="{Binding Username}"/>

Note: In order to automatically update your View when Username changes, make sure you implement INotifyPropertyChanged and set up the property correctly in order to notify the View when any changes were made.

My Textbox's name is Username. What should I be binding it to? – presarioruby Apr 16 '14 at 13:37
The name of your TextBox doesn't matter. The property where the username can be accessed needs to be bound. – 0x8BADF00D Apr 16 '14 at 13:39
