How to pass the current user into a web control declaratively

I am creating a control and have to pass it to the current login user as a parameter (declaratively)

I tried this but didn't work (I got "<% = User.Identity.Name%>" as value):

<cc1:MyControl id="myid" runat="server" User="<%= User.Identity.Name %>" />

Is there a way to do this?

Why would you transfer at all? The user control can directly access the User.Identity.Name property.

Inside this control, you will have access to this.Page.User, so one way. Another is the use of HttpContext.Current.User.

You can do it in codebehind:

myid.User = User.Identity.Name

Try using:

User="<%= User.Identity.Name %>"

% = for output

% # for data binding.

Try changing the double quotes in the User attribute to single quotes. I've seen this work in the past ...
