I'm creating a WPF application that will use a system to help a user log into an application.
So far, I have two window controls. 1 for setting up a user (username, their role, password, email etc) and 1 for logging into the application. So far so good.
I have created a bool method (called: CheckLogin()) and called that within a command to see if a user has the correct credentials which works perfectly. The next step in which I want to get is try and get the currently logged in user and display their username to show who is logged on currently.
Within my UserViewModel I did something like the following;
private string _Username = System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name
But what seems to happen is on the log in screen, the username textbox (bound to the Username property of the Viewmodel) shows the name of the local computer name, rather then the name of the currently logged - using the CheckLogin() method.
Also, the label in which should show the username, behaves in the same way and shows the name of the local computer name.
What am I doing wrong? any help is much appreciated.
