Getting the ApplicationUser object in a controller

[Simon Canning]

I am writing a C# MVC5 internet application and am having some trouble getting the 'ApplicationUser' object in a controller that I have created.

Here is my code:

var userManager = new UserManager<ApplicationUser>(new UserStore<ApplicationUser>(new ApplicationDbContext()));
ApplicationUser user = userManager.FindByNameAsync(User.Identity.GetUserId()).Result;

When I try to run this code, when a user is logged in, I am getting a null object for the 'ApplicationUser' user.

Can I please have some help with this?

Thanks in advance

Try passing the Name property instead of user id.

userManager.FindByNameAsync(User.Identity.Name).Result;

FindByNameAsync Method
