Question

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

Answer 1

Here is the code (but not in C#):

Private m_CurUser As String

Public ReadOnly Property CurrentUser As String
    Get
        If String.IsNullOrEmpty(m_CurUser) Then
            Dim who As System.Security.Principal.IIdentity = System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent()

            If who Is Nothing Then
                m_CurUser = Environment.UserDomainName & "\" & Environment.UserName
            Else
                m_CurUser = who.Name
            End If
        End If
        Return m_CurUser
    End Get
End Property

Here is the code (now also in C#):

private string m_CurUser;

public string CurrentUser
{
    get
    {
        if(string.IsNullOrEmpty(m_CurUser))
        {
            var who = System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent();
            if (who == null)
                m_CurUser = System.Environment.UserDomainName + @"\" + System.Environment.UserName;
            else
                m_CurUser = who.Name;
        }
        return m_CurUser;
    }
}
