How to get the current username in a Mashup

Here is the solution to get the current username in a Mashup in Lawson Smart Office. Last week I wrote a post on How to get the current M3 profile in a Mashup which returns DEV, EDU, TST, PRD, etc. depending on which profile you are currently connected. This week I post about the username:

1. Add this namespace to the Mashup:
   xmlns:Services=”clr-namespace:Mango.Services;assembly=Mango.Core”
2. Then get the UserName like this:
   <TextBlock DataContext=”{x:Static Services:ApplicationServices.UserContext}” Text=”{Binding UserName}” />
3. There is also the DisplayName:
   <TextBlock DataContext=”{x:Static Services:ApplicationServices.UserContext}” Text=“{Binding DisplayName}” />

Here is a screenshot of the result:

I found inspiration from the Smart Office Developer’s Guide > UserAndProfileExample.js.
