Good Morning,
I have an asp.net app where I want users to be able to update a database. I
want to automatically pass the logged in persons name to the database as
well. In a vbscript file I can do this easily. How do I do something
similar in asp.net. Thanks for any advice.

'
Dim oShell
Dim UserName

Set oShell = Wscript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
UserName = oShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%USERNAME%")

WScript.Echo UserName
'

Regards,
Chris

This might only work if the site is not setup for anonymous users.
