Can't retrieve httpcontext using VS2015

Question

In my .Net project built in VS2010, I can retrieve System.Web.HttpContext well

C#

HttpContext httpContext = HttpContext.Current;
string s = httpContext.User.Identity.Name.ToUpper()

But when I switch to VS2015, the value of s is empty. That means the code does not retrieve HttpContext. How can this problem be fixed? Thanks.

What I have tried:

Refer to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1056487/httpcontext-current-user-identity-name-is-always-string-empty
Use
string s = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.LogonUserIdentity.Name;
Then the problem is gone. Thanks for your review.
