I have a requirement to display the currently logged in user on a newItem list form the user is filling out- I have a people picker control which I know I can convert to the Rich Text format to display the current user. However, I am having trouble getting the current user. I took a look at how SP did it, but found that they also had "Welcome " embedded into their code, so I cannot just re-use it.

Then I found this resource that showed me how to get the logged on user from the server variable. But I have no idea to display it on the form, so I don't even know if it got what I was actually looking for! While I was poking around the code for the page, I found that I'd already had the following parameter

<ParameterBinding Name="UserID" Location="CAMLVariable" DefaultValue="CurrentUserName"/>
<xsl:param name="UserID" />

which looked like it might do the trick, but again.... I can't figure out how to display the value of it on the webpart form- so I don't even know.

How can I display the value of a parameter on webpart page so that I can verify that it is what I am looking for?

Thanks!

You can use <xsl:value-of select="$UserID" /> to display current user name.
