ASP.Net/VB.Net - Retrieving from Active Directory

Hi,

I am trying to display the username from Active Directory in an asp.net web application using vb.net but I can't seem to do it.

I can connect to AD using a windows application by adding a reference: System.DirectoryServices to my project and then just using SystemInformation.UserName in the form_load sub but it's not working when I try to do this in a web application.

Not sure why it would work perfectly in a windows application but not a web application?

Thanks.
