How to Get the Currently Logged in Computer User within the Web Page
I'm creating an ASP.Net web application and the requirement is that users on our intranet ( AD-LDAP authenticated ) have the option, when first browsing to the logon page, to either be logged on through their current user account automatically, or be given a chance to log on as a different user. So the Logon page needs to be able to determine who is currently logged on to the computer. How can I do this?
I have the LDAP forms-based authentication working already.
Thanks Very Much in Advance.
David

Curt_C:
Page.User.Identity.Name
Just after I posted I found Environment.UserName, which returns the same name as Page.User.Identity.Name.
Are these reading from the same source? Is there any difference at all?
Thanks, Curt.

There can be a difference between the two if you use impersonation. The recommendation is to use User.Identity.Name although both is valid.
See http://forums.asp.net/t/1179997.aspx#2001242 for a description of the differences.
If this post was useful to you, please mark it as answer. Thank you!
