Hi Everyone,

I created a managed c++ web service and I would like to access the
current user. For instance, in a C# web service, you would normally
type in: HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name;

to get the user name. Can someone tell me how I would achieve this in
managed c++ web service?

Thanks

Sharon

Hi,

This should work:

HttpContext::Current->User->Identity->Name

PS Sharon,

Unless you just love the challenge of mangled (I mean Managed) C++; I'd
heartily recommend using C# for your Web Service, and if you must access
some native code, then create a thin managed layer that can "talk" both
C/C++ and C#.
