Membership.GetUser Method (Boolean)

 

Gets the information from the data source for the current logged-on membership user. Updates the last-activity date/time stamp for the current logged-on membership user, if specified.

Namespace:   System.Web.Security
Assembly:  System.Web (in System.Web.dll)

static member GetUser : 
        userIsOnline:bool -> MembershipUser

Parameters

userIsOnline
Type: System.Boolean

If true, updates the last-activity date/time stamp for the specified user.

Return Value

Type: System.Web.Security.MembershipUser

A MembershipUser object representing the current logged-on user.

Exception Condition
ArgumentException

No membership user is currently logged in.

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 using the userIsOnline parameter. Of the GetUser overloads that do not take a userIsOnline parameter, GetUser() implicitly updates the last-activity date/time stamp for the user. GetUser(System.String) and GetUser(System.Object) do not.

The following code example displays the user name for the current logged-on membership user in the ASP.NET page without updating the last-activity date/time stamp for the user.
