ASP.Net and FullName

My goal is to retreive the FullName of the user logged into the computer.
I have done this in ASP but I can't get it to work in ASP.Net

This is what I have done in ASP
<%
'This pulls the Username of whoever is signed on and trims off the empty space
      strUsername = Trim(Request.Servervariables("Logon_User"))

'Separate the domain and the username
'The "\" is the separator between the domain and username
      Position = InStr(strUsername,"\")
'The we create two variables from Username
      DomainName = Left(strUsername,Position-1)
      UserAccount = Mid(strUsername,Position+1)

'Now we will use ADSI to retrive the Full Username as described on the server
      Set objUser = GetObject("WinNT://" & DomainName & "/" & UserAccount)
Session("FullName") = objUser.Fullname

%>

How can I do this in ASP.Net

use System.UserName
response.write(System.UserName)

Try this

strUsername = Trim(Request.ServerVariables("AUTH_USER"))

Okay, What I need to be returned is the Full Name.

Fraserdickson, the answer you gave returns the Username of the person.
Nishikanth. I am not sure what you ment by System.Username. I tried the code like you posted but it returned an error. So, I added

<%@ Import Namespace="System.Security.Principal" %>

Fullname=User.Identity.Name

Which i think is what you ment byt the system.username. but I am not sure.
anyway, both of them returned just the username.

any more ideas?

Sorry for the dely in posting a reply.
nishikanth,
The posting above do I place that in <Script> Tags?
I am assuming it runs at the client side.
I have not worked with C# although its on my list of things to learn. Are you able to post it in VB.net. If not I will try this out

nishikanth

that's a server side coe... pls place it in the code behind...
just change the syntax... it should work fine for vb.net
