How can I display the name of the logged in user

[Sam]

Dear Sir,

Please; How can I display the name of the logged in user when I am using
windows integrated security in my Windows forms application?I used
My.User.Name but it displays the Login name only.

Thank you.

Hello,

you'll have to look it up. In a domain environment, you'll have to look at
ActiveDirectory. You can do this either by performing LDAP query
(http://www.infinitec.de/articles/exchange/findusermultiad.aspx). Another
option is to bind to the user object directly by using Sid Binding (You'll
have to obtain the SID first. In .NET 2.0 you can use the
NTAccount(accountname).Translate(typeof(SecurityDescriptor)), see
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/En-US/library/ms675562.aspx). And a third option
is calling the DsCrackNames function via Interop.

Best regards,
Henning Krause

Hi,
Also you would need to add reference to system.directoryservices.dll
