How can I get MembershipUser from the PrincipalInfo.CurrentPrincipal.GetUserGuid

Vote:
 

Hi,

I need to get the membership user and I have the EPiServer.Security.PrincipalInfo.CurrentPrincipal.GetUserGuid() in a variable. 

I tried Membership

Membership.GetUser(guidVariable);

but it returns null, since the GetUserGuid property is not the membership GUID.

After a lot of searches, I came up with this code:
Mediachase.Commerce.Customers.CustomerContext customerContext = new Mediachase.Commerce.Customers.CustomerContext();
Mediachase.Commerce.Customers.CustomerContact userContact = customerContext.GetContactById(modifierId);
return Membership.GetUser(userContact.ProviderUserKey.ToString());

which simes to work but
ProviderUserKey is Obsolete.

What shall I do?

Thanks in advance,

Ashkan

Hi Quan,

Thanks for the reply. 

Unfortunately, the userContact.PrimaryKeyId does not contain the "username" nor the membershipGUID.  It is completely the same as the value that I had originally (from CurrentPrincipal.GetUserGuid), So I can't use it to retrieve data from Membership.

It is the GUID of the episerver contact, not the membership.

Can you try with CustomerContext.GetUserForContactId(PrimaryKeyId) to see if it works for you?

(Btw- mentioning the version in your post will be a big help ;) )
