Membership::GetUser Method
Gets the information from the data source and updates the last-activity date/time stamp for the current logged-on membership user.
Assembly: System.Web (in System.Web.dll)
Return Value
Type: System.Web.Security::MembershipUserA MembershipUser object representing the current logged-on user.
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentException | No membership user is currently logged in. |
GetUser() 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.
