User.Name Property

Definition

Gets the name of the current user.

public:
 property System::String ^ Name { System::String ^ get(); };
public string Name { get; }
member this.Name : string
Public ReadOnly Property Name As String

Property Value

String. The name of the current user.

Examples

This example checks if the application is using Windows or custom authentication, and uses that information to parse the My.User.Name property.

Function GetUserName() As String
    If TypeOf My.User.CurrentPrincipal Is 
      Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal Then
        ' The application is using Windows authentication.
        ' The name format is DOMAIN\USERNAME.
        Dim parts() As String = Split(My.User.Name, "\")
        Dim username As String = parts(1)
        Return username
    Else
        ' The application is using custom authentication.
        Return My.User.Name
    End If
End Function

Remarks

You can use the My.User object to get information about the current user.

The principal that authenticates the user also controls the format of the user name. By default, an application uses Windows authentication, and the user name has the format DOMAIN\USERNAME. A custom implementation of the principal does not necessarily use the same format.

Note

The exact behavior of the My.User object depends on the type of the application and on the operating system on which the application runs. For more information, see the User class overview.
