ASP.Net Core MVC display currently logged in user
I have an ASP.Net Core MVC application. I want to display the currently logged in user name. I asked a question earlier about something similar. Here I'm trying to display and grab the current username so that I can pass it to a function later to look up data in a database table with the username in a where clause. But I need to get the username. I've used Environment.UserName before, but it does not work in the .Net core app. I get an error:Environment does not contain a definition for UserName. Thanks.

I'm trying to capture the currently logged in userid or username from windows. I've not done it in a ASP.Net Core MVC application. In other .net applications I've been able to capture it with Environment.UserName, part of the System namespace. I will take the windows userid/username and compare it later to a database table, but first I need to get that windows Id. I hope this clarifies it some.

My application does not have a web.config file. Putting the code you suggested in does not raise any erors, but when I run it I get the "Hello, " but then it's blank. Where can I set the authentication mode in the app? I have a Startup.cs file.
what do you mean by "logged in user name"? are you connecting to a database for user authentication?
can you share what you have so far?
