Extract username from DOMAIN\Username c#

Question

I have implemented an application that authenticates users against active directory using LDAP. Since users are being authenticated from different domains, they log in by DOMAIN\UserName. After being logged in, I capture the username by using User.Identity.GetUserName() however this, of course, returns DOMAIN\UserName. What I need to do here now is to extract the UserName from the string returned. Any help will be appreciated.

Answer 1

What about User.Identity.GetUserName().Split('\\')[1] ?
