string variable
My application runs over a Smart Application Device

Ricardo,

I tried it but I just have 3 option under Environment OSVersion,
TickCount , Version
I add the line Imports System.Environment into the program

Any idea?
Thanks

Sounds like you're running on the Compact Framework. I didn't think the
Windows Mobile/PocketPC/CE-based devices had the concept of a logged-in
user.

Ricardo,

Ah, ok, I understand what you're getting at. You are going to have to
retrieve the username from the registry of the device.

They key you want to retrieve is [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Ident/Username]

Here is an example:

const string regPath = "Ident";
string username = Registry.GetString(Registry.RootKey.LocalMachine, regPath,
"Username");

In order to access the registry you are going to need some code that does
the task for you. Here is a link to download:
