Question

How do I get the current username in .NET using C#?

Answer 1

If you are in a network of users, then the username will be different:

Environment.UserName
- Will Display format : 'Username'

rather than

System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name
- Will Display format : 'NetworkName\Username'

Choose the format you want.
