I just switched over to using the new 2.0 version of the Identity Framework. In 1.0 I could get a user object by using manager.FindByIdAsync(User.Identity.GetUserId()
manager.FindByIdAsync(User.Identity.GetUserId()
Just in case you are like me and the Id Field of the User Entity is an Int or something else other than a string,
using Microsoft.AspNet.Identity; int userId = User.Identity.GetUserId();
will do the trick
