Store Email ID in Session Variable after loging as,

Session["EmailID"]=strEmailID

Display it on Master Page,

lblUserEmail= Session["EmailID"].ToString();

Hope this will help you :-D

how much memory can be used from session memory ? will this reduce the performance, if the number of online users is very high ??

Think about this for a moment. How big is the data you want to store. How long can an email address be ? How many users do you expect to have ? Are you running it on a Commodore 64 ? Session data should be used sparingly, but storing some email addresses is not going to crash it. It's more when people fill the session with data sets, etc, and never empty it, that it can cause issues. You need to at least store something in the session to note the user that is logged in. If you store their user id, you can elect to read any other data from the DB, although this is surely going to 'cost' more to retrieve an email address every time, than if you store it in the session

No, Storing User ID, Email ID does not reduce the permanence at all. You have to rethink your design when you want to store DataTable, DataSet in Session, It can cause performance issue.
