    Always Use Display Name - Never UserName

    Reply Quote
    I'm testing Cute Chat to see if I want to buy it for my websites. I've incorporated Cute Chat into an asp.net membership website. However, I NEVER want the users to see the Username since this is used for login to the website. Is there a way to always prompt for a Display Name when entering a chat room and ALWAYS use THAT in the chat rooms - NEVER the username? It's OK to use the username in the database.
     
    Here is the global.asax code I'm currently using.
     
    1. <%@ Application Language="C#" %>  
    2. <%@ Import Namespace="CuteChat" %>  
    3.   
    4. <script runat="server">

    Well, I just created a Display Name that was a combination of a users first name, last name, and id. This created a unique but identifiable Display Name that replaced the UserName. This solved my problem.
