Retrieve User Name in C#.net

[Guest]

Hi All,

I am trying to find how to retrieve the user name
using .Net. I know how to retrieve the user login using
HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name but I ned to
retrieve the name and not the login.

Thanks In Advance.

There's no API in ASP.NET to do this for you. You'll have to take the login
you have and query whatever the authentication source is to determine that
info.

I don't have a C# example but the below should be easy to convert. The System.DirectoryServices
namespace is required:

Dim DomainUser As String =
System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent.Name.Replace("\", "/")
Dim ADEntry As New System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry("WinNT://" & DomainUser)

Dim FullName As String = ADEntry.Properties("FullName").Value
