q: user e-mail

[Guest]

Hello,
User.Identity.Name gives me current user name, how can I get the e-mail
address of current user?

Unless you're using Windows Authentication and Active Directory in an
Intranet environment, there is no way to get the user's email address except
asking them for it.

If you are in that environment as Steve adviced then you should be able
to retrieve the email addy!

Application is fro intranet. If I am able to get current user with
User.Identity.Name, doen't that mean I am using Windows Authentication? If
not, what shoudl I do and how should I retreive e-mail from AD?

This code should get you the user's full name.
With a little tinkering I bet you can also get the email address.
(also set <identity impersonate="true"/> in your web.config)


string Domain_Slash_User = Context.User.Identity.Name;


Domain_Slash_Machine = Domain_Slash_Machine.Replace(@"\", @"/");string
queryString = @"WinNT://" + Domain_Slash_Machine;DirectoryEntry obDirEntry =
new DirectoryEntry(queryString);
System.DirectoryServices.PropertyCollection coll = obDirEntry.Properties;



object obVal = coll["FullName"].Value;_User = obVal.ToString();

Session.Add("UserFullName", _User);
