TeamFoundationIdentity::DisplayName Property
Visual Studio 2013
Full name of the identity for display purposes. The display name can come from the identity provider (Active Directory, ACS) or may have been set as a custom display name within TFS.
Namespace: Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Framework.Client
Assembly: Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client (in Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client.dll)
If the identity provider does not supply a full name, and no custom display name is set, another property like account name or e-mail address will be used as the display name.
TFS 2010 servers may return a disambiguated identity, such as "John Smith (CONTOSO\jsmith)". TFS 2012 servers will not disambiguate identities with the same full name in this manner. However a user could set their custom display name to a similiar string.
- Full trust for the immediate caller. This member cannot be used by partially trusted code. For more information, see Using Libraries from Partially Trusted Code.
