  Retrieve Machine Name and username during installation of ASP.N

  Feb 01, 2013 04:49 AM|LINK

  I had developed a asp.net application using C#. I want to deploy it on client machine. I will be creating an .exe file which can be installed on client machine. 

  I need a code or script using which I can retrieve local machine name and user account name during installation of .exe file.

  Any help will be appreciated.

  Thanks in Advance..

  You can get the users name by using System.Security.Principal and using the following code:

  string userName = WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name;

  To get the machine name:

  string machineName = System.Environment.MachineName;

  Of course as you know these will only work on an executable running on said machine.

  Good luck.

  Thanks for your reply..

  I had found the solution to retrieve username and computer name.

  I used customActionData parameters [USERNAME] and [ComputerName] to retrieve and store.

  Thanks once again.
