In Linux we have an elegant and quick command to display the currently logged on user. It is called 'WhoAmI'. You can check out the manpage of this command here. I just thought would create a quick and simple C# port of the same and share it with interested users.
The code is a very simple and straight-forward console application and I hope it is also useful for beginners to learn the programming language with ease and fun.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Security.Principal;
namespace LavanyaDeepak.UnixCommands
{
class WhoAmI
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.Clear();
try
{
Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.Green;
WindowsIdentity objWindowsIdentity = WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent();
Console.WriteLine(string.Format("You are currently logged on as {0}", objWindowsIdentity.Name));
}
catch (System.Security.SecurityException objSecurityException)
{
Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.DarkRed;
Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Could not fetch currently logged on user. There was a security error: ", objSecurityException.Message));
}
catch (System.Exception objGeneralException)
{
Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.Red;
Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Could not fetch currently logged on user. There was a general error: ", objGeneralException.Message));
}
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
}
