Another Object Reference

[BW]

Using Asp.net 2.0.

All I want is to Get the current username and display it in a welcome
message. I'm getting the following error:
Error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Source:
nfy0vvzn Trace: at Default1_aspx.Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) in
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Aws\Default1.aspx.vb:line 10


Here's the code:

Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles
Me.Load
Dim mUser As MembershipUser

Try

mUser = Membership.GetUser(True)

Label1.Text = "Welcome " & mUser.UserName & " to blah, blah, blah" 'ERROR
HAPPENS HERE

Catch ex As Exception

Label1.Text = "Error: " & ex.Message & " Source: " & ex.Source & " Trace: "
& ex.StackTrace

End Try

End Sub

Any suggestions?

Membership.GetUser() is returning null - probably means the account was not
found.

I thought GetUser() returned the current authenticated user?

You're right. The object is not returning a user. Problem is it should be.
The user logs in, then is directed to this page.

Thanks again,
