Dears,

I am very new to MVC.

I have following queries and please help me to sort out those.

1. How can i get the current logged in user details in MVC?

I have created a new page namely _MainLayout.cshtml and is placed in views/shared
in the HomeController i have added the following;

public ActionResult MainLayoutPage()
{
return View();
}

I want to display the logged in user details.

How can I do that and where can I do it?
Is it in the Controller page or in the .cshtml file?

2.I have a tag like <li id="userdetails">
I want to hide and show the li tag based on loggedin user.
How can i achieve this ?

Thanks

User.Identity.Name is the standard but it depends if you are using a standard security pattern.

This is standard stuff and Visual Studio has a template that provides this functionality out-of-the-box.

Hi nicklibee,

According to your descriptions,I recommend You could create a website based on their starter project in MVC.

Create a new ASP.NET Web project and select the MVC template.

And Leave the default authentication as Individual User Accounts.

Then a project with simple user management features are automatically generated,such as:Register, Login...

After registering or logging in, you can see and optionally add the details of the currently logged in user (user account name, user nickname, etc.).

I have created a new page namely _MainLayout.cshtml and is placed in views/shared

Actually,In above project with Individual User Accounts,It does this for this function with admin panel which created in partial view named _LoginPartial.cshtml:.

Layout:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>@ViewBag.Title - My ASP.NET Application</title>
    @Styles.Render("~/Content/css")
    @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/modernizr")

</head>
<body>
    <div class="navbar navbar-inverse navbar-fixed-top">
        <div class="container">
            <div class="navbar-header">
                <button type="button" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".navbar-collapse">
                    <span class="icon-bar"></span>
                    <span class="icon-bar"></span>
                    <span class="icon-bar"></span>
                </button>
                @Html.ActionLink("Application name", "Index", "Home", new { area = "" }, new { @class = "navbar-brand" })
            </div>
            <div class="navbar-collapse collapse">
                <ul class="nav navbar-nav">
                    <li>@Html.ActionLink("Home", "Index", "Home")</li>
                    <li>@Html.ActionLink("About", "About", "Home")</li>
                    <li>@Html.ActionLink("Contact", "Contact", "Home")</li>
                </ul>
                @Html.Partial("_LoginPartial")
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="container body-content">
        @RenderBody()
        <hr />
        <footer>
            <p>&copy; @DateTime.Now.Year - My ASP.NET Application</p>
        </footer>
    </div>

    @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jquery")
    @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/bootstrap")
    @RenderSection("scripts", required: false)
</body>
</html>

_LoginPartial:

@using Microsoft.AspNet.Identity
@if (Request.IsAuthenticated)
{
    using (Html.BeginForm("LogOff", "Account", FormMethod.Post, new { id = "logoutForm", @class = "navbar-right" }))
    {
    @Html.AntiForgeryToken()

    <ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
        <li>//you could also add other user data,such as: user account name,user nickname,etc.
            @Html.ActionLink("Hello " + User.Identity.GetUserName() + "!", "Index", "Manage", routeValues: null, htmlAttributes: new { title = "Manage" })
        </li>
        <li><a href="javascript:document.getElementById('logoutForm').submit()">Log off</a></li>
    </ul>
    }
}
else
{
    <ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
        <li>@Html.ActionLink("Register", "Register", "Account", routeValues: null, htmlAttributes: new { id = "registerLink" })</li>
        <li>@Html.ActionLink("Log in", "Login", "Account", routeValues: null, htmlAttributes: new { id = "loginLink" })</li>
    </ul>
}

More details,you could refer to this template project.

Hope my reply will helpful to you.

Best Regards.
