Unix/Linux WhoAmI command in C#

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.

	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();
	}
	}
	}
