Hi,

is there a way to get the full user name (Firstname plus Lastname) from CSLA when using Windows Authentication (or better regardless which authentication method I'm using)?

Or do I have to retrieve that name (e.g. for display purposes) on my own?

Regards

Kirby

You need to get that on your own. Basically you have to query active directory yourself using the user's security identifer. Look up the documentation on System.DirectoryServices.
