getting current user name in razor

Question

I want to get the current authenticated username in my razor view page, so I use

if (User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
{
      <p>Name is @User.Identity.Name</p>
}

but @User.Identity.Name always shows the id of the user.

Answer 1

Try this (MVC):

@{ var userName = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name; }
