How to get current user who's accessing an ASP.NET application?

Question

To get the current logged in user at the system I use this code:

string opl = System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name.ToString();
         


        

Answer 1

If you're using membership you can do: Membership.GetUser()

Your code is returning the Windows account which is assigned with ASP.NET.

Additional Info Edit: You will want to include System.Web.Security

using System.Web.Security
