How to get current user in ASP.Net MVC 5

There are two simple ways to get current user in MVC 5. If you are inside the controller class current user can be fetched as follows,


string userId = User.Identity.GetUserId();

Do not forget to add namespace,

 


using Microsoft.AspNet.Identity;

Other scenario could be that you are not inside the controller class and want to fetch the user information. You can fetch that using HttpContext class.

HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.GetUserId();

I hope it helps. Happy Coding.
