ASP.NET Core 2.1 Use HttpContext in view










0















I have this httpcontext claim that I would like to use in my view to show the current users username. This is how I do it so far:



<p>@Context.User.Claims.SingleOrDefault(u => u.Type == "UserName")</p>


However, the result is something like this:




UserName: user@email.com




Am I missing something? I tried to do this:



@Context.User.Claims.SingleOrDefault(u => u.Type == "UserName").Select(c => c.Value).SingleOrDefault()


But it doesn't allow me to use Select after the SingleOrDefault.










share|improve this question
























  • Is it should be @Context.User.Claims.Where(u => u.Type == "UserName").Select(c => c.Value).SingleOrDefault()?

The SingleOrDefault() returns single element that matches with the criteria, not another IQueryable or IEnumerable collection which can be Select-ed later.




Returns a single, specific element of a sequence, or a default value
if that element is not found.




You should use Where() to return a collection before using Select():



@Context.User.Claims.Where(u => u.Type == "UserName").Select(c => c.Value).SingleOrDefault()


For C# 6.0 and above, use null-conditional operator to get its value:



@Context.User.Claims.SingleOrDefault(u => u.Type == "UserName")?.Value

    .SingleOrDefault returns a item in the collection, while .Select expects a collection. You should just visit the .Value property of this item directly.
