Splitting the UserName from the User.Identity.Name

We all know that User.Identity.Name gets to the machine name and the user name of the logged in user. The structure that it returns the username is something like this:

MACHINE NAME\USER NAME

Sometimes we need to separate the UserName with the Machine name.

Here is a easy code that can perform this:


string userName = User.Identity.Name;
string user = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(userName);
Response.Write(user);
