How do you get the username in Silverlight Out-Of-Browser (SLOOB) apps?

Question

We currently use Silverlight within the browser. ASP.NET writes the Windows Authenticated user name to the ASPX page that the Silverlight control is on. The username is passed as a parameter in to the control when it loads.

How would you get the username with an out-of-browser application?

Answer 2

I believe the recommended approach to work around this was to store any details like this when you perform the OOB installation, that way you can still access them when you start OOB.
