How can I change the value of ".GetUserName()" in the _LoginPartial view to a database field?

Question

I need the value to change to a database field, it should show the name, but how do I do it?

<ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
    <li>
        @Html.ActionLink("Hello " + **User.Identity.GetUserId()** + "!", "Index", "Manage", routeValues: null, htmlAttributes: new { title = "Manage" })
    </li>
    <li><a href="javascript:document.getElementById('logoutForm').submit()">Log off</a></li>
</ul>

I need to see another value, not the email field, like a "Nombres" using my IdentityModels:

public class ApplicationUser : IdentityUser
{

    public int Rut { get; set; }
    public string Nombres { get; set; }
    public string Apellidos { get; set; }
    [DataType(DataType.Date)]
    [DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:dd-MM-yyy}", ApplyFormatInEditMode = true)]
    public DateTime FechaNacimiento { get; set; }
    public int Telefono { get; set; }
    public string Direccion { get; set; }
    public int Nacionalidad { get; set; }

User.Identity.GetUserId() shows the email, but I need it to show the "Nombres" data.

Please do not post images of code. Please edit your question, and paste the relevant code in. Adding code and/or error messages as images creates more work for those that are trying to help you, and some cases may put off those that could help you.

you can try this.

create a model with the property you need. ex : UserDisplayName


    class NavbarModel {
        public string UserDisplayName { get;set; }
    }

Bind your model in the HomeController Index action method.


    NavbarModel model = new NavbarModel();

    model.UserDisplayName = "some string";

Pass the model to the partial view
Inside the partial view you can access the property and display the value.


    @Html.ActionLink("Hello " + @Model.UserDisplayName  + "!", "Index", "Manage", routeValues: null, htmlAttributes: new { title = "Manage" })

Please note this is just a workflow how you can implement the function.

I do not need to place a string, I need to place a field of my "identityModels", which is the user already logged into the system. – Diego Salazar Mar 20 '19 at 16:29
Can you please tell me what needs to show? If name of the user you can use User.Identity.Name – Sajitha Wattage Mar 20 '19 at 16:39
Edit the question again. Using IdentityModels, how do I show "Nombres" instead of email? thanks! – Diego Salazar Mar 20 '19 at 16:49
two ways. 1st one is @bhanu.cs 's answer. Or else you can put your properties as claims. Create an extension method to read the claims in views. call extension method in login partial. check this post https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35781423/how-should-i-access-my-applicationuser-properties-from-within-my-mvc-6-views – Sajitha Wattage Mar 21 '19 at 03:06

First you need to import Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.Owin namespace into your view.Attach the below statement on top of your view.

@using Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.Owin

Now you can get the value from OwinContext by invoking Usermanager context by firing FindMyName method on usermanager context which returns your ApplicationUser Object.

<ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
    <li>
        @Html.ActionLink("Hello " + HttpContext.Current.GetOwinContext().GetUserManager<ApplicationUserManager>().FindByName(User.Identity.Name).Nombres + "!", "Index", "Manage", routeValues: null, htmlAttributes: new { title = "Manage" })
    </li>
    <li><a href="javascript:document.getElementById('logoutForm').submit()">Log off</a></li>
</ul>

As per mvc pattern it is not a good idea to put application logic in view instead you can put application logic i.e getting the nombres field in controller action which returns a string and call Html.Action from your view — bhanu.cs, Mar 21 '19 at 02:42
