How to get current details from Windows Active Directory

I tried to get current user details from Windows Active Directory using a .NetCore C# web application but I couldn't show them. I tried debugging and I have confirmed that my code already connected with my domain, because I could ensure my username and email details in debugging mode.

Here's my "Index.cshtml.cs" file

namespace Employees.Pages
{
    public class IndexModel : PageModel
    {
        public void OnGet()
        {
            var username = User.Identity.Name;



            using (var context =new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain, "my Domain"))
            {
                var user = UserPrincipal.FindByIdentity(context, username);
                if (user != null)
                {
                    ViewData["UserName"] = user.Name;
                    ViewData["EmailAddress"] = user.EmailAddress;
                }
            }
        }
    }

And here's my "Index.cshtml" file:

@page
@model IndexModel
@{
    ViewData["Title"] = "Home page";
}



    <p>@ViewData["EmployeeName"]</p>

I could check it in the basic project template when I made it with azure active directory. Check below:

@using System.Security.Claims
@if (User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
{
    var identity = User.Identity as ClaimsIdentity; // Azure AD V2 endpoint specific
    string preferred_username = identity.Claims.FirstOrDefault(c => c.Type == "name")?.Value;

It's changed in visual studio 2019. This is what I am using now:

@using System.Security.Principal

<ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right loginpartial">
@if (User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
{
        <li class="nav-item">
            <span class="navbar-text text-dark">Hello @User.Identity.Name.Substring(0,User.Identity.Name.IndexOf("@"))!</span>
        </li>
