WindowsPrincipal p = System.Threading.Thread.CurrentPrincipal as
System.Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal;

p.Identity.Name tells me userId. how do I get out not only the log in name
but also the name of the person who is inlogged in the system???

To best my knowledge would only return an initialized
WindowsPrinicipal if somewhere program had assigned this previously,
otherwise this would just be a blank GenericPrincipal.

If the quoted line of code is working, it appears to me that some
piece of code had previously 'constructed' an object of
WindowsPrincipal by itself and then assigned it as thread's principal.

To get WindowsPrinicipal of current OS logged-in user you may do
following

WindowsPrincipal p = new
WindowsPrincipal(WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent());

Hi,

Sorry but I still don't get it. How would I be able to get out full name
(user full name) out of the windowsPrincipal p object???
