ASP.NET (MVC) Get username from URL http://username@myapplication.com

Question

Is there any way to retrieve username from this

http://username@myapplication.com

type of address in ASP.NET MVC (optionally in ASP.NET) from current request?

Answer 1

You're looking for the Uri class:

var uri = new Uri(someString, UriKind.Absolute);
var user = uri.UserInfo;

Answer 2

If that's the guaranteed string you might try something like:

string myString = "http://username@myapplication.com";

if(myString.Contains("@"))
{
    return myString.Split('@')[0].Replace("http://","");
}
