How to find Current User Name

[Herb]

When I run my ASP.NET application from my development PC,
Me.User.Identity.Name works. When I run it from my Intranet site, it does
not. Any suggestions?

Use

Context.User.Identity.Name

No luck. This yields a blank string.
These are my three lines of code:
Response.Write(">" & Me.User.Identity.Name & "<<BR>")
Response.Write(">" & System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.
GetCurrent().Name & "<<BR>")
Response.Write(">" & Context.User.Identity.Name & "<")

When run locally yields:

DOMAIN\USERNAME<
DOMAIN\USERNAME<
DOMAIN\USERNAME<

When run on the Intranet yields:

<
WEBSERVERNAME\ASPNET<
<

Then i guess you have'nt disabled anonymous auth on your intranet server
(in IIS)...

oops! it's always the simple things, isn't it? Incidentally,
Me.User.Identity.Name also works. Is there a preferred method?

Me implies that you are on a page - Context works everywhere...
