Hi Saad Akhtar

User who run this custom workflow. Means User name belongs to this userid

ITracingService tracingService = context.GetExtension<ITracingService>();

IWorkflowContext workflowContext = context.GetExtension<IWorkflowContext>();

IOrganizationServiceFactory serviceFactory = context.GetExtension<IOrganizationServiceFactory>();

IOrganizationService service = serviceFactory.CreateOrganizationService(workflowContext.UserId);

var id = workflowContext.UserId;

Thank You

Hi Abi Rami

It is not my case. I need user on the basis of current user id, noparameters required in my case.

Thank You

Hi Abdul Wahab,

If you get the user id, then you could retrieve the username using the following function.

function GetUserName(userId) {
var cols = ["domainname"];
var resultXml = XrmServiceToolkit.Soap.Retrieve("systemuser", userId, cols);
if (resultXml != null && resultXml.attributes['domainname'] != null) {
var username = resultXml.attributes['domainname'].value;
}
}

Use this code:

Entity User = service.Retrieve("systemuser", context.UserId, new ColumnSet(new String[] {"fullname"})); if (User != null) { if (User.Attributes.Contains("fullname") && User.Attributes["fullname"] != null) { string UserName = ((string)User.Attributes["fullname"]); } }
