I think my subject is clear.
I need the username of the client pc. I do this in C# and I don't want to use ActiveX.

Can someone help me?

I have Windows Authentication activated and anoynimous acces is turned off. I want to read the client user out of the Active Directory, so I need the username to search for. Sorry for my English... Hope you understand me?

Have a look at this [^]article in MSDN, this will give good insight about Windows Authentication in ASP.Net.

You can get the user name like this:

string LstrUserName = HttpContext.Current.User;

Thanks for helping! But this seems to work too:
this.User.Identity.Name;

YEs, there are multiple ways to do this.

By the way, another way is using WindowsIndentity[^]:

WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent();

Is WindowsIdentity not serverside? I think it is. Isn't it?

Obviously it is. And the GetCurrent returns the WindowsIdentity object that represents the current Windows user.

Moving from Session mode InProc to StateServer

This is so FRUSTRATING...

I was losing session information when embedding an iFrame inside a PHP site, so decided to switch from InProc mode of sessions to StateServer. Made/added the following lines to my web.config:

<br />
   <sessionState mode="StateServer" timeout="60" cookieless="AutoDetect" stateConnectionString="tcpip=localhost:42424"    /><br />
	<pages enableSessionState="true">  <br />
		<httpModules><br />
      <add name="Session" type="System.Web.SessionState.SessionStateModule" /><br />

and yet, the first time I touch a Session variable I get a:

Session state can only be used when enableSessionState is set to true, either in a configuration file or in the Page directive. Please also make sure that System.Web.SessionStateModule or a custom session state module is included in the <configuration>\<system.web>\<httpModules> section in the application configuration.

I am using Master and Pages and the Session is in the Master Page_Load code behind.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

No - just one site. Just need to get it out of IIS. Server managing sessions is the same server; however, if this is in place, then I am set to start a server farm if necessary.

Wow - sometimes it amazes me as to how frequently the "website" or "project" becomes corrupted in Visual Studio. At wits end, started brand new website and literally copied over web.config from website giving me issues with sessionState - StateServer. Worked out of the gates... Ok so my config was correct, so why would my existing site not work? Went to \windows\Microsoft.Net\Framework\n.n.nnn.release\Temporary ASP.NET Files\ and deleted all websites - still a no go.

Then remembering what one of my friends told me, "It is common for the solution/website to become corrupted. When this happens, copy all files to a new directory and start over. Bingo - works out of the gate. Lost two days on something that should have worked because the platform I'm on cannot remain uncorupted...

I am not able to understand what is your exact problem. In your Feedback form you should have Email, Subject and Comments field ( May be different based on requirments ) . On click of submit button you need to send mail on Email Id. Now, how to send mail I have alredy told you.

I think your problem is something different and you are not able to express it Frown | :(

. Please try to explain in properly so that we can help you out !!

Hey buddies , I am a new to ASP. I am a C# programmer............................. But my customers wanted me to make them web Pages when I made a software in C# for them.......................I have learned an introduction to Web Development in HTML and PHP. But I wanted to know ASP.Net . One of my friend told me to work on PHP bcoz ...."U can get more free codes when u r in trouble even Tutorials" as he said. For now I wanted to develop Personal sites. But latter I also wanted to develop my own advertisement site.

So which one do u recommend me to use? i.e which one is better in all case.
Thank you.

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
