How do I get the logged in user's window's credentials in a WPF application

I have a little application I build that monitors tickets submitted. It basically just sits there in the corner and notifies when new tickets arrive. I need to get the persons username who is logged into the computer to pull their tickets.

I tried searching, but I think I'm using the wrong terminology as I couldn't really find anything.

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

This worked, but the Environment.Username worked a little better as I didn't have to strip out the domain.

Fair enough, i forgot what that was and was to lazy too look it up. I just googled and found this.

You're looking for the Environment.UserName property.

You may also be looking for the Environment.UserDomainName property.
