How to find the logged in user in Sharepoint?

Question

I have developed a "web part" that has to be deployed on a Sharepoint server. I need the username of the user, who has logged in the sharepoint server within the web part.

How do I get that username?

Hey all, i got the answer for my question Hope this will work for you all... First add a reference to the MicrosoftSharepoint.dll file in your web part. then write using Microsoft.SharePoint;

            string username;
            string sspURL = "URL where Sharepoint is deployed";

            SPSite site = new SPSite(sspURL);

            SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb();

            SPUser user = web.CurrentUser;

            username = user.LoginName;

            site.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
