Hi all,

When i run my application on mysystem/localhost it gives me correct username. but when i host my application on IIS and then open application on other user's pc then it should show that pc's username. but it doesn't.

how to retrieve username of that pc?

I have tried below lines of code to get the username.

C#

if (System.Web.HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
{
     string userName = "Hello, " + System.Web.HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name;
}

string ddd = System.Net.Dns.GetHostName();

string s = Page.User.Identity.Name;

string sss= System.Environment.UserName;

string test= HttpContext.Current.Request.LogonUserIdentity.ToString();

are there any other solutions to get the username?

thanks

What does it show? Make sure anonymous access is turned off.

You need to study how a web application works and the client server basics.

The server code you have written executes on the server and only sends the response to the user. And since your code is executing on the server, it will get the machine details ( mysystem/localhost) of the server and NOT of the user who is browsing it.

To make the matter worse, you have not posted the code.

Ask me if you need any other details...
