Question

I would like to display the Username in my WPF application, where it should get the username from the current user logged in?

so my question how can we get the username of windows logged in user from WPF App ?

Answer 1

System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name 

I also found:

Environment.UserName 

or

System.Windows.Forms.SystemInformation.UserName 

I cannot try it so check for yourself the result.

Added: Full user name:

Imports System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement  Dim userFullName As String = UserPrincipal.Current.DisplayName 

Answer 2

Call WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent() to get the Windows user identity.

You can get the name from this.
