Get the details of currently logged in user

Question

I am making an application where the authentication to that is bind to Azure Active Directory.

I need to get the first name and last name of logged in user. Currently I am able to get username by using

public string name
{
    get
    {
        return HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name;
    }
}

It returns me "Subham.kumar@nathcorp.com", but I don't need the whole username.

You can use Claims

        foreach (Claim cl in ((ClaimsIdentity)(User.Identity)).Claims)
        {
            switch (cl.Type)
            {
                case ClaimTypes.Email:
                    currentUser.Mail = cl.Value;
                    break;
                case ClaimTypes.Name:
                case ClaimTypes.Surname:
                    currentUser.Name = cl.Value;
                    break;
                case ClaimTypes.GivenName:
                    currentUser.FirstName = cl.Value;
                    break;
             }
         }
