How to get username without domain

Question

In an aspx page I get the Windows username with the function Request.LogonUserIdentity.Name. This function returns a string in the format \"domain\\user\".

Answer 1

An alternative way of doing the same thing as the other answers:

var usernameWithoutDomain = Path.GetFileName(@"somedomain\someusername")

It is just unsafe as not checking for the @ variant of usernames.
