    Get Umbraco User Details in Umbraco v6.1.6

    I am writing a backoffice extension for Umbraco v6.1.6.

    I want to record details of who has done what from within my extension. So - I am retrieving the ID of the currently logged in user with the following code, and storing this in my database table...

    int CurrentUserId = UmbracoContext.Current.UmbracoUser.Id;

    What I now need to do is retrieve a user's name from a given ID (so that when someone else logs in to the backoffice, they can see who else did things).

    I've had a look in the Umbraco source but it looks like the UserService is 'internal'. Could someone point me in the right direction, please?!

    Many thanks!
    - Chris

    Would UmbracoContext.Current.UmbracoUser.Name give you the required user's name?

    Hi Tom,

    Thanks for your reply - but that will only give me the name of the current user. What I need to do is get the name of any user from their ID.

    Thanks,
    - Chris

    You should able to initialize a user using their ID:

    var user = new umbraco.BusinessLogic.User(userId);
user.Name;

    This will not create a new user, but get the existing user from the database.
