Good question.  Maybe I can use the framework.  I've never used it and don't do module development.  The .aspx I wrote is simply a way to have the user download a file from the portal via a direct link without logging in to DNN and it also hides the file location from the user for security.  So it works like www.mysite.com/download.aspx?file=myfile.pdf  So the user need not log in to DNN to see the file, but if they have logged in prior I'd like to pick up their username from the cookie so I can track who did the download.  If there is no DNN cookie for the site, then the tracking occurs with no username since no login is required.

Make sure in your ASPX page that you inherit from DotNetNuke.Framework.PageBase instead of Page. Once you do this then the following code should work. I'm not exactly sure what you want to do but the code below makes sure the user is authenticated then fills a UserInfo object you can use. If all you want is the username then you could just use "HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name".

If (HttpContext.Current.Request.IsAuthenticated) Then
Dim user as DotNetNuke.Entities..Users.UserInfo = DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserController.GetUserByName(PortalSettings.PortalId, HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name)
End If


Hope that helps.

You can have your page use any inheritance heirarchy that makes sense for your application and just call into the user controller.  Because I am using the GetCurrentUserInfo, I can now access any of the user's information, like email, login ID, real name, or any of their profile data.

      If Request.IsAuthenticated Then
        lblUserName.Text = DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserController.GetCurrentUserInfo().DisplayName
      Else
        lblUserName.Text = "Unknown User"
      End If
 
    End Sub

Also, if you haven't already signed up, I would recommend you consider going to DotNetNuke World in Orlando and attend a pre-conference class if you can.  The amount you will learn in 3 days is well worth the time and expense as you'll have 3 days of learning from people like Will Morgenweck and many other DotNetNuke experts. http://dotnetnukeworld.dotnetnuke.com/
