There’s a number of mechanisms to get the currently logged on user’s name, for example, you can get to it via the context of the current web page like so:
However, usually the best way to get the current user’s name is via the context of the current Http request like so:
Ultimately, you’re calling down into the same “User” object, and accessing the same System.Security.Principal.IIdentity object instance in either case, but using the HttpContext allows this code to be used not only in web pages but also ASP.NET user controls and POCO classes etc.
