Get User Name

[nitin_ion]

Is there a way i can get the user name associated with the processes just like in task manager.

Do you mean get current username logged in PC? If so : using System.Security.Partial; . . . . string username = System.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name.Tostring(); it gives DomainName\Username

Well, in VB 2005, this single line of code works :

My.User.Name

This returns the Name of the User under which the current process is running Yuvi Panda T Microsoft Student Partner Blogs at : http://yuvipanda.blogspot.com

But I am using VS2003. do you know how to get the user name for a process in 2003

[nitin_ion]

I want the user name of the process and not the user who is logged in.

[Yuvi Panda]

Not sure, but I guess this should help:

System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name

This will again get Logged on user name.

Thanx, but This article is telling how to kill a process and not how to list the username of the process.

if you're working on a win 2k, xp or 2k3 machine, check into the system.management namespace. it allows you to connect to wmi which has the information you need.

The Process class doesn't expose this functionality. The best method, like Jim said, would be to use WMI and the Win32_Process[^] class. Once you get the list of Win32_Process objects, call the GetOwner method on each one to get the information you need. Dave Kreskowiak Microsoft MVP - Visual Basic

The code snippet that was posted will give you the name of the user running the process. It is usually but not always the person who is logged in. Jared Parsons jaredp@beanseed.org http://jaredparsons.blogspot.com/[^]
