How do you get the UserID of a User object in ASP.Net MVC?

Greetings, I have created a custom membership provider to make it possible to authenticate users on my application. How can i retrieve current user id in controller? I need this to get some data from database for this user like this:

PersistanceManger.RepositoryUser.GetInformation(userROWGUID);

How are user authenticated in the application? Does it use Windows, Forms, or some sort of custom authentication scheme? — Brian Lyttle, Mar 27 '10 at 20:56

Do you particularly need the Id of the user or the userName ?, it seems you are looking for the Guid of the present user, for this I think the retrieval of this Id depends on your implementation. If you want to retrieve information based of userName, then you can do the following:

HttpContext.Current.User gives you the User object, you can get the other information from it, for your case, you need to use HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name

Question is asking for how to find Guid? – Bharat May 04 '11 at 20:35 — Bharat, May 04 '11 at 20:35
