Hello,

 I am using this:

 Dim uinfo As DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserInfo = DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserController.GetCurrentUserInfo()  
Dim userName As String = uinfo.Username
Dim userId As String = uinfo.UserId

    
If userName <> "" Then
    Response.Redirect("test.asp?_diu=" & userId & "&_enamu=" & userName & "&" & Request.QueryString.ToString())
Else
%>
You are not logged in.
End If
%>

 

About half the time it works and gets the login, and about half the time it doesn't and says "You are not logged in."   Is there a more reliable way of getting the current user?

try this:

if (this.UserId>0) { //userid greater than zero for registered users
this.UserInfo.Username
this.UserInfo.FirstName
this.UserId
etc.
}

Bartlomiej,

 Thanks for the response.  I am not an advanced programmer, but I believe your code only works inside a DNN file.  I want to access the current logged user's username and userid from an .aspx page using vbscript.  The page is called as a link from a DNN page.  I've attached the complete .aspx script of the page below.

 What I don't know is how to deal with the situation where a user is logged in to the DNN portal but "Request.IsAuthenticated" is false for some reason.

Is there a more reliable way to get the username and userid?

Yes my code works only inside DNN.
Some workaround to check if user is loged in is to check in DNN "User" table "LastModifiedOnDate" field and compare with DateTime.Now. Basic programming skills required.
