I have seen this question posed regarding Silverlight 2 but I have not seen any questions about Silverlight 4.

Is there a way to get the current user running an application in Silverlight 4.0? I thought I remember seeing that as one of the features of 4.0 but I cannot find it. (Maybe it was just wishful thinking on my part.) I would imagine it would have to come from the OS running the browser or the browser itself. (The application is not being installed locally, it’s running in the browser)

I have a solution where I call web service method that just does the following to get the users name. However, I would like to not have to call a web service

HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name.ToUpper();

Thanks in advance!

    You might find it easier just to pass the name into the silverlight app as a parameter
