I have a site setup using Claims Based (Forms) authentication with Anonymous access enabled.

When a user logs into the site they may exist in the Forms Database, but not in the SharePoint Site collection. In this case SPContext.Current.Web.SPUser returns NULL - even though they are logged in.

Is there another object similar to SPUser that I can use?

+2  A: 

Is HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated == true? If so, try putting a call to SPContext.Current.Web.EnsureUser(HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name) before digging into Web.CurrentUser (which is what I presume you meant, not Web.SPUser)

that might be Web.User too (can't remember)

This, is - in fact, what I ended up doing. =)if (HttpContext.Current.User.Identity != null){ IIDentity myIdent = HttpContext.Current.User.Identity; // Do some more identity stuff}
