Hi Greg
If you are using ASP.Net Identity for authentication, you can get the UserId of a logged-in user like this.
// Inside a controller or view.
string userId = User.Identity.GetUserId();
// Anywhere else.
string userId = PrincipalInfo.CurrentPrincipal.Identity.GetUserId();Mind you, this method reads the UserId from authentication cookie, not directly from database.

Hello, all I am trying to make a simple request to retrieve the UserID from the Users Table after they have registered the user.
I have read that there are calls on Commerce Server to get this info:
PrincipalInfo.CurrentPrincipal.GetContactId()
For user name and email:
var customerContact = PrincipalInfo.CurrentPrincipal.GetCustomerContact();
However I cannot find anything on the CMS side that will do the same thing. Any help would be appreciated.
