Question

I have this below code which will fetch loggedin UserID

System.Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal p = System.Threading.Thread.CurrentPrincipal as System.Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal;
        //networkID=User.
        string strName = p.Identity.Name;
        int start;
        start = strName.IndexOf("\") + 1 ; 

  strName = strName.Substring(start, strName.Length - start);

But start = strName.IndexOf(“\”) + 1 ; throwing out error saying Newline in constant. The logged in username I get is domainName\username and I want to use only username. Please help

Answer 1

Try IndexOf(@"\") or IndexOf("\\").
