Hi Lawrence,

It is mentioned in the documentation though, please refer to this article, on the bottom of the page there is a tip:

Tip: When writing additional code or views for your website, you can access information about the currently authenticated user via the User property. For example, User.Identity.Name returns the username of the currently signed-in user.

I found this, I beleive it is what I'll need string activeUserName = UserInfoProvider.GetUserName();

What I am struggling with, where in the documentation would I find this? If not in the documentation, how would someone go about figuring this out without having to google everything?
