Remove the DomainName from User.Identity.Name 1

[Mike555]

User.Identitiy.Name identifies the DomainName\UserName of a user. Is there an easy way to remove the DomainName portion so that only the UserName is listed? Thanks.

Regards,
Mike

If you just read the value into a string you can find where the slash begins and take a substring of the original string. e.g.

        Dim MyString As String = "MyDomain\MyUser"
        Dim x As Integer = MyString.IndexOf("\") + 1
        Dim y As Integer = MyString.Length
        MyString = MyString.Substring(x, y - x)

You can even simplify this (I just wanted to easily show how it was done) and use something like:

        Dim MyString As String = "MyDomain\MyUser"
        MyString = MyString.Substring(MyString.IndexOf("\") + 1, MyString.Length - (MyString.IndexOf("\") + 1))

Hope this helps.

I keep this in a class with some other utilities and just pass in the Context.User.Identity.Name

public string getLanID(string LanID)
{
int pos = LanID.IndexOf("\\");
string newLanID = LanID.Substring(pos+1);
return newLanID;
}
