Obtaining Google user ID in ASP.NET MVC4

Folks,

I just started to work on an ASP.NET MVC4 web application. I added support for local login as well as login using Google ID (using OAuthWebSecurity).

It seems the user is successfully able to login using Google ID. When I examine Membership.GetUser(), I see that the user name for the logged in user is the Google email ID.

As the user can log in either locally or using Google ID, I need to have the ability to query my local database using either the local user ID or the Google ID.

I am trying to understand what Google ID is. Is it the email address of the user or is there a unique GUID associated with each Google user. I am guessing it must be the latter case. If it is, how do I obtain this Google ID? I don't see any property on Membership class that gives me this information.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Regards,
Peter

The username for google is the email address. This is an OpenID account.
