Get FirstName, LastName and other from OpenId?

Here the relevant functions from the ASP.NET MVC template.

How do I get some additional attributes of the user such as FirstName etc? I don't mind using DotNetOpenAuth, if there is no other choice, I obviously prefer the in-box version.

I'm unsure what I have to change there to make it work, I don't want to mess it all up.

I think the answer is you can't. The ASP.MVC template makes login easy, but that's pretty much all it is. Just authentication. It provides little or no information about the user other than it's the same user that was here before.

If you want to get additional information for the user, I suggest you handle more of the login yourself. An example of how to do this is in the OpenIdRelyingParty MVC sample that you can download here.
