Unable to get Context.User.Id entity.Name

[Arjen]

Hi,

I try to get the 'Context.User.I dentity.Name' from inside the global.asax in
the 'Application_Be ginRequest' event.

I get this error message:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

You can simple test this with:
Response.Write( Context.User.Id entity.Name);

How can I get there the name?

Thanks!

The identity of the user has not been established when
Application_Beg inRequest executes. If you need to access User.Identity,
you'll need to choose another event later in the request's life cycle.

I recommend reading the following document from the Patterns & Practices
site. It should give you a pretty thorough understanding of the life cycle
for an HTTP Request as it relates to ASP.NET.

Hi,

I know the problem, not the solution. I can't find the correct and first
event to get the User.Identity.
Can someone help?

Thanks!

Application_Pre RequestHandlerE xecute
