I want to fetch the current logged in username for a databasequery in C#

  • 0

I want to fetch the current logged in username for a databasequery in C# and trying to find a C# version of the ASP “command” User.Identity.Name. When I’m googling it I only find people that’s fetching the Windows username with Environment.Username and similiar solutions – which is not what I need.

So, I’m speaking of the accounts made from the ASP Configuration dialog in VS, or the auto-generated register functions. I can register/login/logout and everything, so I’m guessing there is some sort of session that’s storing the info I need. I just don’t know where I can find it.

I hope I’m not that confusing 🙂 Anyone know how to fetch my session-info from a C# model?

    You can get the name of the current user in MVC the same way as you can in classic ASP, with User.Identity.Name. The whole namespace is System.Web.HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name.

    Without seeing your code I can’t be sure, but I imagine you aren’t including System.Web, and even if you are you may need to specify HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name.
