As a requirement im using sharepoint object model and trying to compare "Created By" field of a List Item with the Current User Logged on.

My Question is :

If the Same user who has created the item logged on

Does Web.CurrentUser.LoginName = Created By Matches?? or anyother active directory property that matches with Created By

Please help me on this

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

To my knowledge, System.Web.HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name should match the CreatedBy property.
