I will ping Scott about this.

Ok Mariette

I closed the Gemini issue - its not really a bug (as you are attempting to hack an existing behaviour).

I think I do have a better soln though.

The current stored procedure (that uses the view) pulls back way more information than the old one did, and due to the wonders of asp.net you have access to any field in the ascx file.

So here is a suggestion:

In the UsersOnline.ascx file towards the bottom of the file is the code that  displays the users.

<itemtemplate>
    <asp:label id="lblUserNumber" runat="server" />:&nbsp;<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "UserName") %>
    <br>
</itemtemplate>

The important part is the part between the <%...%>:

DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "UserName")

To display what you used to do before changes this to:

DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "DisplayName")

or

DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "FirstName") + " " + DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "LastName")

This should work for you.  The first is better as it uses the Display name the user entered (as opposed to the arbitrary First+Last)

You could also do this:

DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "UserId") + ": " +
DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "DisplayName").

To get it displaying the userid and the displayname.
