Membership.GetUser Issues

[Nightcrawler]

Hi,

I have a blog in my application that any registered user can post to
(I am using Microsoft's Memberships and Profiles for this). When I
show the blog entries in a datalist I also want to show the username
of the registered user that added the entry. My blog table holds the
Guid of the user that added the blog entry so I simply want to retrive
the user information through the UserId Guid.

I found the Membership.GetUser() but it doesn't seem like it supports
retriving user information by the UserId Guid. Does anyone have a nice
and clean way of doing this?

Please help.

Thanks

Hello.

The Membership.GetUser() method should work for you given that you're using
the default setup for Microsoft's membership and profile services.

The documentation linked to from above mentions "associated with the
specified unique identifier." which, in your case, is the GUID. Simply pass
in the GUID.
