Hi, you can write like below HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name thanks and regards, kumar

using three ways we can get the User Name using C# 1) System.Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal p = System.Threading.Thread.CurrentPrincipal as System.Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal; string strName = p.Identity.Name; [ OR ] 2) string strName = HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name.ToString(); [ OR ] 3) string strName = Request.ServerVariables["AUTH_USER"]; //Finding with name string strName = Request.ServerVariables[5]; //Finding with index In Above 3 Cases returnin string contains DomainName\WinNTLoggedUserName Using string operations seperate the DomainName and UserName.

In window application (VB.Net)use this on login form... SaveSetting("AnyName", "Properties", "UserID",txtName.text) Now on any form u can get that value by.... Dim UserId As string = GetSetting("AnyName", "Properties", "UserID")

----------------------------------------------------------

From TheScript

To get the current user, better switch to .NET:
Environment.UserName
or
System.Windows.Forms.SystemInformation.UserName
