I am trying to use the GetCurrentUserInfo method, but all it returns me is an empty UserInfo object.

Here is my Code:

Dim objUserInfo As New Entities.Users.UserInfo

objUserInfo = UserController.GetCurrentUserInfo()

Simple (I Thought)

Ok, let's get a little deeper.  I am not building a module, I am building a web service.  When I use the Me keyword all I get is user. No UserInfo.

Here is the web service:

Imports System.Web
Imports System.Web.Services
Imports System.Web.Services.Protocols
Imports DotNetNuke

Namespace DotNetNuke.Modules.PSI

    <WebService(Namespace:="http://PSI/MyWebServices")> _
    <WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo:=WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)> _
    <Global.Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.DesignerGenerated()> _
    Public Class MyWebServices
        Inherits System.Web.Services.WebService

        <WebMethod()> _
        Public Function GetUserInfo() As String

            Dim objUserInfo As New Entities.Users.UserInfo

     objUserInfo = UserController.GetCurrentUserInfo()

            Return objUserInfo.DisplayName
           
        End Function

    End Class
End Namespace

Please note, your current code is probably not working as it requires an authenticated user to be logged in, it's always wise to check for this, or replace it e.g. something like

if request.isauthenticated=true then

'check for username here

or

if (dotnetnuke.Entities.Users.UserController.GetCurrentUserInfo.Username IsNot Nothing) then ....

or

IIf(Request.IsAuthenticated,HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name, "Not logged in") ...
