asp.net mvc get current logged in user id

Question

Greetings, I have created a custom membership provider to make it possible to authenticate users on my application. How can i retrieve current user id in controller? I need this to get some data from database for this user like this:

PersistanceManger.RepositoryUser.GetInformation(userROWGUID);

Answer 1

Do you particularly need the Id of the user or the userName ?, it seems you are looking for the Guid of the present user, for this I think the retrieval of this Id depends on your implementation. If you want to retrieve information based of userName, then you can do the following:

HttpContext.Current.User gives you the User object, you can get the other information from it, for your case, you need to use HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name
