how to find the user name of the system logged in

Question

i want the user name of the that id from which user is logged in system.

System.Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal p = System.Threading.Thread.CurrentPrincipal as System.Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal;
string strName = p.Identity.Name;

I have written above code but not getting the user name but it is giving the alias name

Could you give an example? (I assume you logged in to an AD.) — Gábor Bakos, May 05 '15 at 08:54
