Remarks

The UserNameInstructionText property is displayed in the UserName view to explain to the user how to use the PasswordRecovery control.

The style settings in the InstructionTextStyle property define the appearance of the text in the UserNameInstructionText property.

When using a template assigned to the UserNameTemplate property, the UserNameInstructionText property is not displayed.

The default text for the property is localized based on the server's locale setting.

The value of this property, when set, can be saved automatically to a resource file by using a designer tool. For more information, see LocalizableAttribute and Globalization and Localization.
