Gets the information from the data source for the specified membership user.
(in System.Web.dll)
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Shared Function GetUser ( _
username As String _
) As MembershipUser
Dim username As String
Dim returnValue As MembershipUser
returnValue = Membership.GetUser(username)
public static MembershipUser GetUser(
string username
)
public:
static MembershipUser^ GetUser(
String^ username
)
public static function GetUser(
username : String
) : MembershipUser
The GetUser method retrieves the user information from the data source and creates a MembershipUser object populated with the returned data. If you use one of the GetUser overloads that does not take a username parameter, GetUser returns the information for the current logged-on membership user. The current logged-on membership user is identified by the Name of the user in the current HttpContext.
You can also specify whether you want GetUser to update the last-activity date/time stamp for the user being retrieved with the userIsOnline parameter. Of the GetUser overloads that do not take a userIsOnline parameter, Membership..::.GetUser implicitly updates the last-activity date/time stamp for the user. Membership..::.GetUser and GetUser do not.
The following code example uses the GetUser method to return a MembershipUser object for the current logged-on user and updates the e-mail address for the user.
