add following reference into the class file:

using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages;

Inherit class from “Webpart” class:

using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Web;

namespace wp2
{
public class Class1 : WebPart
{
protected override void RenderContents(HtmlTextWriter writer)
{
writer.Write(“Hi ” + this.Context.User.Identity.Name);
}
}
}

Step 4: To set the version number and allow partially trusted callers

1.    In Solution Explorer, double-click the AssemblyInfo file
2.    Edit the line:

C#
[assembly: AssemblyVersion(“1.0.*”)]

Visual Basic

so that it reads:

C#
[assembly: AssemblyVersion(“1.0.0.0”)]

Visual Basic

3.    Add the following line to the top of the file:

C#
using System.Security;

Visual Basic
Imports System.Security;

4.    Add the following line to the bottom of the file:

C#
[assembly: AllowPartiallyTrustedCallers]

Visual Basic

Now go into the “build” tab and set “output path” as the server’s sharepoint bin directory like “\\[sharepoint path with port]\Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\dbvss80\bin\”
(this will create dll of this project into the output directory)

Web Config Settings:

add the following code into SharePoint web config file:
(Webconfig is into the “\\[sharepoint path with port]\Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\dbvss80” directory)
add “” between “” section.
