In aspx.net, what is the difference between
Context.User.Identity.Name
and
HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name
Im currently using the Context.User.Identity.Name
from a masterpage and are having trouble with user identitys beeing mixed up (user A sees user B data). Could this be the source of the problem?
They are identical. Context
has a reference to the current HttpContext
which is the same as HttpContext.Current
. So, I don't think this is causing the problem that you are having.
As far as i know the two methods are identical because
Context
is the same as
HttpContext.Current
There is no difference in the context of a Page, because Page.Context returns the current HttpContext.
HttpContext.Current is a static method that returns the HttpContext
associated with the calling thread (may return null)
Page.Context is a reference set to same object as HttpContext.Current, but
is a direct reference, no internal lookup required.
