Best method for getting User.Identity.Firstname and other properties #5646

sbenfares created 5 years ago

I would like to get FirstName and LastName of my users in my chstml views.

With asp.net identity we can have @User.identity.Name but only the name is exposed.

What is the cleanest method to get User.FirstName & Lastname (& other properties) in ANZ ?

hi,

You can get it from SessionCache.

See _Layout.cshtml.cshtml

@{ var loginInfo = await SessionCache.GetCurrentLoginInformationsAsync(); } <span>@loginInfo.User.Name</span>

Hope that helps

The name 'loginInfo' does not exist in the current context

did you also write

@{ var loginInfo = await SessionCache.GetCurrentLoginInformationsAsync(); }

See your _Layout.cshtml.cshtml. It's already being used there.

I used the LoginInformations field in the HeaderViewModel, which contains exactly what i need.

No need for the variable in page, best use with the ViewModel.

Thanks for your help.
