Get the logged on user name in C#

Question

How do i get the current logged on user name in windows 7 (i.e the user who is physically logged on to the console in which the program that i am launching is running).

Answer 1

I think you'd have to go down a P/Invoke route. You need to find out which WindowStation your process is running within, and then determine the owner of that WindowStation. I don't think that there's a .NET api for determining these things.

Win32 APIs that you'd need to look at, are probably GetProcessWindowStation and GetUserObjectSecurity to find the owner.
