Hello,
I have an app which uses some data from user computer (accessed via class System.Environment)
Specifically I need System.Environment.UserName and System.Environment.UserDomainName. Is it possible to access that data from within C# ASP.NET web-page? If so - what should be the approach?

Thank you in advance!

Seems like this will only get stuff from the server - not from the user. What I actually need - is username of person dialing into my website. For example user from outside the world comes and the page get's his UserID (from his local computer). All the WindowsIdentity and Principal classes refer to the server side where the code is actually running... I suppose we need some sort of different approach here...
