How to reference a custom Identity field in ASP.NET Core Web Application?

In my ASP.NET Core web application, I added custom fields in my Identity such as CompanyCode using ApplicationUser model. I am now trying to retrieve the CompanyCode of the current logged in user in the web application, but I do not know how to access this field. How can this be done?

From your description, I suppose you have already added the CompanyCode to the ApplicationUser model, and configured the service and UserManager to use the ApplicationUser model. Like this:

UserManager:

    private readonly UserManager<ApplicationUser> _userManager;
    private readonly SignInManager<ApplicationUser> _signInManager;

Setup.cs ConfigureServices:

        services.AddDefaultIdentity<ApplicationUser>(options => options.SignIn.RequireConfirmedAccount = true)
            .AddEntityFrameworkStores<ApplicationDbContext>();

Then, you could try to access the CompanyCode field by using the following code:

@UserManager.GetUserAsync(User).Result.CompanyCode

For example:

In the _LoginPartial.cshtml page:

<li class="nav-item">
    <a class="nav-link text-dark" asp-area="Identity" asp-page="/Account/Manage/Index" title="Manage">Hello @User.Identity.Name! @UserManager.GetUserAsync(User).Result.CompanyCode</a>
</li>

After login, the result as below:

Or, in the controller action method:

    private readonly ILogger<HomeController> _logger; 
    private readonly UserManager<ApplicationUser> _userManager;
    public HomeController(ILogger<HomeController> logger,  UserManager<ApplicationUser> usermanager)
    {
        _logger = logger; 
        _userManager = usermanager;
    }

    public IActionResult Index()
    { 
        if (this.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
        { 
            //login success
            var item = _userManager.GetUserAsync(this.User).Result.CompanyCode;
        }
        return View();
    }

The result like this:
