How to get the USERID

Doug Batchelor · Sep 17, 2006

I am using the ASP.NET membership stuff and have succesfully implemented it
on my site. However, I would now like to be able to get the UserId which is
stored for registered users in the aspnet_users table in ASPNETDB.MDF. The
reason is that I would like to include this value for users who insert
records in other tables in my database. I thought I could use the LoginName
control to get the Username which I could then use to query the aspnet_users
table, but I can't find a property which will give me the Username in the
control.

I would appreciate any help from the gurus out there.

Hi Doug,

Can you get it from the Profile? If so, here's some code that might get you
going.

Let us know?

I guess you are talking about the GUID?

You can get that from MembershipUser.ProviderUserKey
