String[] roles = Roles.GetRolesForU         


        

Answer 1

Don't use @using System.IdentityModel.Claims namespace, Instead of that use

@using System.Security.Claims

    @using System.Security.Claims
    @using Microsoft.AspNet.Identity
    @{      
       var claimsIdentity = User.Identity as System.Security.Claims.ClaimsIdentity;
       var customUserClaim = claimsIdentity != null ? claimsIdentity.Claims.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Type == "cutomType") : null;
       var customTypeValue= customUserClaim != null ? customUserClaim .Value : User.Identity.GetUserName();
       var roleOfUser = claimsIdentity != null ? claimsIdentity.Claims.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Type == ClaimTypes.Role).Value :"User";

}
